Find Work Item Id Using Custom Attribute

0
Josh Bambrick (21●1●3●5) | asked May 22 '12, 8:50 p.m.
I am working on a project where I need to add an attachment to a work item by the work items id. I can successfully upload the attachments but I have to manually supply the work item id. I want to automate this process.

Using the Java API how do I create a query that takes a custom attribute as the parameter:long customId, and returns an int workItemId?

Code examples appreciated.

You can find a work item by ID using 

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

IWorkItem linkdest = workItemClient.findWorkItemById(fLinkDestination,IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, null);


You can access a custom attribute like this: 

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



IAttribute customString = workItemClient.findAttribute(fProjectArea,fCustomStringAttributeID, null);

if(null!=customString){ 

	if(workItem.hasCustomAttribute(customString))

		String value=workItem.getValue(customString);

}


I have no code for querying at hand, I would suggest to search this forum, there have been a lot of code snippets posted over time.
