Fetching also sub-categories from a project area
Hi Everyone,
I saw several examples demonstrating how to fetch available categories from RTC project area. Problem is, the fetched categories are only the ones that are positioned as root categories - their children sub categories aren't fetched along with them. I haven't noticed any way of doing that using the latest 2.0 SDK and the pure java API... If anyone is familiar with such a way, I would be thankful. Best, Lior |

Hi Mr.Lior Zimmerman,
There are no apis available for fetching sub categories for a given project area. Nevertheless, for a given category, we can fetch all its immediate sub categories. 1 public void getImmediateSubCategories(ICategory iCategory, 2 IProjectArea iProjectArea) throws TeamRepositoryException { 3 4 //initialise the workitem client 5 IWorkItemClient workItemClient = (IWorkItemClient) repo 6 .getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class); 7 8 //get all categories of a given project area 9 List<ICategory> categories = workItemClient.findCategories( 10 iProjectArea, ICategory.FULL_PROFILE, monitor); 11 12 //printing all the immediate sub categories for the given category 13 for (ICategory iCategoryChild : categories) { 14 if (iCategoryChild.getParentId().equals(iCategory.getCategoryId())) { 15 System.out.println(iCategoryChild.getName()); 16 } 17 } } Using this method, we can find all the sub categories of root categories and recursively all of them. Note to be noted: API used in line 9 will fetch the categories which are active i.e unarchived. we cannot obtain archived categories using the same. I'm yet to find a way to list all archived categories. Hope this suffice your query. |
