Hi,
This is operation Participant code , It works fine only when I was create a new RCN it adds some description, but when I did some modifications in RCN page and again save, it didn't update the RCN description.
I want to update description whenever I click on save button.
what is the problem in the code I don't understand .....any help??

Code :

package test;

import org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor;
import com.ibm.team.foundation.common.text.XMLString;
import com.ibm.team.process.common.IProcessConfigurationElement;
import com.ibm.team.process.common.advice.AdvisableOperation;
import com.ibm.team.process.common.advice.runtime.IOperationParticipant;
import com.ibm.team.process.common.advice.runtime.IParticipantInfoCollector;
import com.ibm.team.repository.common.IAuditable;
import com.ibm.team.repository.common.TeamRepositoryException;
import com.ibm.team.repository.service.AbstractService;
import com.ibm.team.workitem.common.ISaveParameter;
import com.ibm.team.workitem.common.IWorkItemCommon;
import com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.IAttribute;
import com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.IWorkItem;
import com.ibm.team.workitem.service.IWorkItemServer;

public class TestClass extends AbstractService implements IOperationParticipant {

    private static final String SAVE_DESCRIPTION="description";
    private IWorkItemServer workItemServer;
    private IWorkItemCommon wiCommon;

    public void run(AdvisableOperation operation,
            IProcessConfigurationElement participantConfig,
            IParticipantInfoCollector collector, IProgressMonitor monitor)
            throws TeamRepositoryException
    {

        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_DESCRIPTION, monitor);

                                String str=workItemWC.getHTMLSummary()+"update new ";

                                workItemWC.setValue(summaryAttribute, str);

                                workItemServer.saveWorkItem2(workItemWC, null, null);


                            }
                            catch (Exception e)
                            {
                                    // TODO: handle exception

                            }

            }
        }
    }

}

Hi,

Replace the Code

String str=workItemWC.getHTMLSummary()+"update new ";

With

String str=workItemWC.getHTMLSummary().getPlainText()+"update new ";

Because, getHTMLSummary method will return XMLString and not the String.

You might want to look into https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/rtc-update-parent-duration-estimation-and-effort-participant/ what it does is getting a working copy of the work item to update. You also might want to look into getting a fresh version to avoid stale data issues.
