Converting enumeration attribute values to consumable String

0
Chibuzo Obi (31●2) | asked Jun 13 '08, 9:52 a.m.
Hello,
I'm trying to retrieve the value of a workItem attribute, which is an enumeration type. When I call the IWorkitem.getValue(IAttribute) method, I get the following String: com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.ILiteral:enumRepeatability.literal.l6

I was expecting a value of "Unassigned". Therefore how can I derive the actual value I'm looking for?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You can resolve the enumeration using: IWorkItemCommon#resolveEnumeration(IAttributeHandle attribute, IProgressMonitor monitor), which returns an IEnumeration. This can be asked about a literal for a certain id (in your case 'enumRepeatability.literal.l6'). On the literal, getName should return the expected 'Unassigned'.

There is an API constant to refer to the 'Unassigned' value?

Yes, thanks very much Marcel.
I already implemented it through that method - by retrieving all the literals from the IAttribute's IEnumeration, and iterating through them while doing an id comparison. When found, I'd invoke the getName on the literal.
