Hi Valli L,

Thanks for the reply.

My concern is if i run my plugin in debug mode , debugger ( control ) should come to my plugin after the save on defect is done. here, what i get is while saving only it gives control to debugger and if in case followup action fails it fails save operation as well. As the name suggest its followup action I expect save to be done regardless of followup action.

I also create one pre-condition plugin , and deployed both plugin in RTC. Now I edited one of my defect and clicked on save from RTC. In debugger , it comes before saving defect it comes to pre-condition plugin first and on success of that , it goes to followup action and after that it saves defect. So, in such case what is really difference between pre-condition and followup action ?

Following is my plugin.xml

<extension
         point="com.ibm.team.process.service.operationParticipants">
      <operationParticipant
            class="fridaytest.FridayTestClass"
            id="FridayTest.operationParticipant1"
            name="friday test"
            operationId="com.ibm.team.workitem.operation.workItemSave">
         <extensionService
               componentId="FridayTest.extensionService"
               implementationClass="fridaytest.FridayTestClass">
            <prerequisites>
               <requiredService
                     interface="com.ibm.team.workitem.service.IWorkItemServer">
               </requiredService>
               <requiredService
                     interface="com.ibm.team.workitem.common.IWorkItemCommon">
               </requiredService>
            </prerequisites>
         </extensionService>
      </operationParticipant>
   </extension>

Following is my code:

public class FridayTestClass extends AbstractService implements IOperationParticipant {

    private static final String SAVE_SUMMARY="summary";
    private IWorkItemServer workItemServer;
    private IWorkItemCommon wiCommon;
   
    public void run(AdvisableOperation operation,
            IProcessConfigurationElement participantConfig,
            IParticipantInfoCollector collector, IProgressMonitor monitor)
            throws TeamRepositoryException
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Object data = operation.getOperationData();
        if (data instanceof ISaveParameter)
        {
            ISaveParameter saveParameter = (ISaveParameter) data;
            IAuditable auditable = saveParameter.getNewState();
       
            if (auditable instanceof IWorkItem)
            {
                workItemServer = getService(IWorkItemServer.class);
                wiCommon = getService(IWorkItemCommon.class);
               
                IWorkItem workItem = (IWorkItem) auditable;
                           
                            IWorkItem workItemWC = (IWorkItem)workItem.getWorkingCopy();
                           
                            if (workItemWC == null) {
                   
                                System.out.println("Work Item not found.");
                   
                                return;
                   
                            }
                            try
                            {
                                IAttribute summaryAttribute = wiCommon.findAttribute(workItemWC.getProjectArea(),SAVE_SUMMARY, monitor);
                               
                           
                                workItemWC.setValue(summaryAttribute, "updated from plugin");
                                workItemServer.saveWorkItem2(workItemWC, null, null);
                               
                            }
                            catch (Exception e)
                            {
                                    e.printStackTrace();
                               
                            }
                                   
                           
            }
        }
    }
