difference between 2 methods
Hi
I'm supposed to add custom attributes to some Work Items I generate the question is what is the difference between IAttribute createAttribute(IProjectAreaHandle projectArea, String identifier, String attributeType, String displayName, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException; and IAttribute createNewAttribute(IProjectAreaHandle projectArea, String identifier, String attributeType, String fullTextKind, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException; in com.ibm.team.workitem.common.IWorkItemCommon ? Regards -- cd |
One answer
what is the difference between This method creates a new custom attribute and stores it in the repository. The returned IAttribute is not a working copy and cannot be modified any further. IAttribute createNewAttribute(IProjectAreaHandle projectArea, String This method creates a new custom attribute but does not store it yet. The returned IAttribute is a working copy and can still be modified. You have to store the attribute yourself using IWorkItemCommon#saveAttribute(...) JavaDoc for the Work Item API is available in the latest build and also covers IWorkItemCommon. HTH, Patrick, Jazz Work Item Team |
