Hi,

i am using plain java client for fetching all work items.

More over i have found all the field values for each work item(ex. state , priority , contributor type , Summary .. etc).

But i am unable to fetch the value of work item type field.


Please look my previous post for more information.

from your prior post. I think the text 'customerid' is the workitem 'type'


check my output below for this line,

System.out.print("Custom: " +customString.getIdentifier()+" \t" +customString.getDisplayName()+" \t"+customString.getAttributeType());

output:

Custom: customerid Customer ID workItem

Hi sam,

its correct.

But that doesn't return any values.

It return only null value.

Please suggest me any solution.

sorry, I am confused..

I think I see three outputs if you change your code like this(adding single quotes to the literals in the message format)

System.out.print("Custom: '" +customString.getIdentifier()+"' \t'" +customString.getDisplayName()+"' \t'"+customString.getAttributeType()+"'");


Custom: 'customerid' 'Customer ID' 'workItem'

workItemType represents the arbitrary string u defined in the project config. that string is returned by 'getIdentifier()' not getType().
getType() is 'workitem'

Hi sam,

I am using the below function to retrieve work item type value.

But it doen't return any value.

public static String getWorkitemTypeFieldValue(IWorkItem workItem,String fCustomStringAttributeID)
{

ITeamRepository repository = RepositoryManager.getInstance().getCurrentRepository();

IWorkItemClient workItemClient = (IWorkItemClient) repository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);

IAuditableCommon iac = workItemClient.getAuditableCommon();

IProgressMonitor monitor = new NullProgressMonitor();

IProjectArea projectArea = null;
try {
projectArea = getReportOneProjectArea();
} catch (TeamRepositoryException e2) {
e2.printStackTrace();
}

IAttribute customString = null;
try {
customString = workItemClient.findAttribute(projectArea, fCustomStringAttributeID, null);
} catch (TeamRepositoryException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Object value = workItem.getValue(customString);

String sValue = "";

if(value!=null && value instanceof String) {
sValue = (String) value;
System.out.print("\tValue: " + sValue);
}
System.out.println();

return sValue;
}

Let me know is there any other way to get the value of work item type field.

I don't understand.. Type is not an attribute..

so workitem.getWorkitemType() should return the value you seek.

from the javadoc

getWorkItemType

java.lang.String getWorkItemType()

Returns the work item type.
