Hi,

Thanks for your response. I have found the solution.Check my code below.


public class WorkItemInitialization extends AbstractWorkItemOperation {

private String fSummary;
private ICategoryHandle fCategory;
private IAttribute iattribute;
IWorkItem iparent;
IWorkItemHandle target;

public WorkItemInitialization(String summary, ICategoryHandle category, IWorkItem parent, IWorkItemHandle parent2, IAttribute ia,IWorkItemClient workItemClient) {

super("Initializing Work Item");

fSummary = summary;
fCategory = category;
iattribute = ia;
iparent = parent;
target = parent2;
this.workItemClient = workItemClient;
}

protected void execute(WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy,IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException {



IWorkItem workItem = workingCopy.getWorkItem();
workItem.setHTMLSummary(XMLString.createFromPlainText(fSummary));
java.util.Date date= new java.util.Date();

String str_date="08-05-2012";
DateFormat formatter ;
Date date1 = null ;
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-M-yy");
try {
date1 = (Date)formatter.parse(str_date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
java.sql.Timestamp timeStampDate = new Timestamp(date1.getTime());
System.out.println("Today is " +timeStampDate);

workItem.setCategory(fCategory);
workItem.setDueDate(timeStampDate);

IAttribute attr = workItemClient.findAttribute(workingCopy.getWorkItem().getProjectArea(),"Development.Planned_Start_Date", monitor);
if (attr != null) {
workItem.setValue(attr,timeStampDate);
}

attr = workItemClient.findAttribute(workingCopy.getWorkItem().getProjectArea(),"Development.Planned_Target_Date", monitor);
if (attr != null) {
workItem.setValue(attr,timeStampDate);
}


attr = workItemClient.findAttribute(workingCopy.getWorkItem().getProjectArea(),"Development.parent_dev", monitor);
System.out.println("------------------------------");
System.out.println(attr);
System.out.println("------------------------------");
if (attr != null) {
workItem.setValue(attr,iparent );
}



setParent(workingCopy,iparent);


}


private void setParent(WorkItemWorkingCopy wc, IWorkItem parent) {
IEndPointDescriptor referenceType= WorkItemEndPoints.PARENT_WORK_ITEM;
IReference reference= WorkItemLinkTypes.createWorkItemReference(parent);
wc.getReferences().add(referenceType, reference);
}


}

Thanks
