here is customizing code about plain jave api support by ibm.
how to get category name about workitemId

IProgressMonitor monitor = new SysoutProgressMonitor();
ITeamRepository repo = Snippet1.login(monitor);

IItemManager itm = repo.itemManager();

IWorkItemClient service = (IWorkItemClient) repo.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);
IWorkItem workItem = service.findWorkItemById(workItemId, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);


ICategory category = (ICategory) itm.fetchCompleteItem(workItem.getCategory(), IItemManager.DEFAULT, monitor);
System.out.println("This is category: " + category.getName());

I need to check the existing value of "Filed Against" value and then set it to new value.
Appriciate any suggessions or Piece of code.


Thanks in Advance
