Prevent changes on certain folders - by certain users

Hi Michele,
                    My Code looks like this: - The problem that i have is FileItem - can be used only in clinet plugin i think and hence am unable to retrive the item details - folders and files here. Please suggest an alternative for server-side plugin

DeliverOperationData data = (DeliverOperationData) operationData;
        List<IChangeSetHandle> changeSetHandles = data.getChangeSetHandles();
        IRepositoryItemService itemService = getService(IRepositoryItemService.class);
        IScmService scmService = getService(IScmService.class);
        IItemServiceIterator changeSetIterator = ItemServiceIteratorFactory.INSTANCE.createFetchItemsIterator(itemService, changeSetHandles.toArray(new IItemHandle[changeSetHandles.size()]), IRepositoryItemService.COMPLETE);
       
        while (changeSetIterator.hasNext()) {
            IChangeSet changeSet = (IChangeSet) changeSetIterator.next();
            if (changeSet == null) {
                             continue;
            }           
            for (IChange change : (List<IChange>) changeSet.changes()) {
               
                if (change.kind() == IChange.ADD || change.kind() == IChange.MODIFY || change.kind() == IChange.DELETE)
                {
                     IVersionableHandle versionableHandle = change.beforeState();
                    ServiceConfigurationProvider configProvider = ServiceConfigurationProvider.FACTORY.create(
                            data.getDestWorkspace(), changeSet.getComponent());
                    IVersionable item = (IVersionable) scmService.fetchState(versionableHandle, null, null);
                    if(item instanceof IFolder)
                    {
                        String path = "\"+((IFolder)item).getName();
                       IVersionableHandle parent  = ((IFolder)item).getParent();
                       System.out.println(" Folder names is" + path);
                       System.out.println(" Folder parent names is" + parent);
                    }
                    else if(item instanceof IFileItem)
                    {
                        String path = "\"+((IFileItem)item).getName();
                        IVersionableHandle parent = ((IFileItem)item).getParent();
                       System.out.println(" File names is" + path);
                       System.out.println(" File parent names is" + parent);
                    }

                    IAncestorReport reports[] = scmService.configurationLocateAncestors(
                            configProvider, new IVersionableHandle[] {versionableHandle}, null, null);
                    IAdvisorInfo info = collector.createProblemInfo(
                            "Deliver of deleted files is prohibited",
                            "The file " + toFullPath(item, reports[0].getNameItemPairs()) + " is not allowed to be deleted.",
                            "error");
                    collector.addInfo(info);                                       
                }

}

        }
   
    }
}
    private String toFullPath(IVersionable versionable, List<INameItemPair> segments) {
        StringBuffer path = new StringBuffer();
        if(segments.isEmpty()) {
            return versionable.getName();
        }
        for (INameItemPair nameItemPair : segments) {
            if(path.length() != 0) {
                path.append(Path.SEPARATOR);
            }
            // ignore the root folder which doesn't have a name
            if(nameItemPair.getName() != null)
                path.append(nameItemPair.getName());
        }
        return path.toString();
    }
}

Thanks.

I use both com.ibm.team.filesystem.common.IFileItem and com.ibm.team.scm.common.IFolderHandle on my server side script. I don't know of any limitation between client and server in this case.

Hi Michele,
                    Then could it be a problem with my pre-requisites? Because i got errors when using these methods in my server side plugin.

Could you put your associated plugin.xml code here?

Thanks.

Where do you have the errors? And which exceptions do you have?

Sorry, made it an advisor and i think thats the reason...I will modify it and check.

The handle is null because of the configuration provider you've selected. In case of an add operation the element is not already present in the target stream so you have to use data.getSourceWorkspace() in order to have the object.

Thanks Michelle. Could you please provide a sample code for the add operation?
Versionable handle looks to be retrieving a null value (or) is it the problem only because of config provider?

Your snippet seems to be ok, in case of add operation (you can obtain change kind by IChange.getKind() and compare it with IChange.ADD) you have to select a different config provider.

Hi Michele,
                    The plugin works fine now. But at times, it fails to run giving the following error:
 http-9443-Processor44]  WARN com.ibm.team.filesystem                             - Unhandled Exception
java.io.IOException: Stream closed

And when i restart the system(local machine - where my JTS resides), it starts working again. there is no problem with plugin activation, but it fails at times - i can say after 2 or 3 runs.

Please advise.

Thanks.
