The following snippet should get you started:
com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.IAttributeHandle handle = workItem.getCustomAttributes().get(0); com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.IAttribute attribute = (IAttribute) teamRepository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(handle, IItemManager.DEFAULT, new NullProgressMonitor()); System.out.println("The attribute id: " + attribute.getIdentifier()); System.out.println("The value of the custom attribute: " + workItem.getValue(attribute)); Comments Lauren , Thanks for your reply, But i could not resolve below a) "teamRepository" b) IItemManager c) NullProgressMonitor PLease guide ? ![]() JAZZ DEVELOPER
Hi Anil,
ITeamRepository is a ClientSide interface . Since iam writing code in server side , i have difficulty. Please send me some sample code to access the Attribute id and Value from Server side I haven't tried this myself, but I believe the following code snippet taken from https://jazz.net/forum/questions/87541/getting-custom-attributes-names-via-java-api?page=1&focusedAnswerId=87543#87543 should work for you: IAttributeHandle handle = workItem.getCustomAttributes().get(0); IRepositoryItemService itemService = getService(IRepositoryItemService.class); IAttribute attribute = (IAttribute) itemService.fetchItem(handle, IRepositoryItemService.COMPLETE); |
![]()
here is my code from an advisor that loops thru the previous variable states (oldstate)
// reference the right object type (cast) IWorkItem workItem = (IWorkItem) auditable; // get the worker objects IAuditableCommon iac = p.getSaveOperationParameter().getAuditableCommon(); WorkflowManager wfm = new WorkflowManager(iac); if(false) { IWorkItemCommon workItemCommon = iac.getPeer(IWorkItemCommon.class); // loop thru all the attributes in the project // attributes are project wide, not workitem specific for(IAttribute ia:workItemCommon.findAttributes(p.getOldProcessArea().getProjectArea(), monitor) ) { // if this attribute is available on this workitem if(workItem.hasAttribute(ia)) { System.out.println("processing for variable="+ia.getDisplayName()+" attrib type="+ia.getAttributeType()); try { // attempt to get the enumeration literal for this attribute // will throw exception if not an enum IEnumeration<ILiteral> enumeration = (IEnumeration<ILiteral>)workItemCommon.resolveEnumeration(ia, monitor); if(enumeration!=null) { // get the literal specifically String[] iaval = ia.getValue(iac, workItem, monitor).toString().split(":"); // if present if(iaval.length>1 && iaval[1]!=null) { // loop thru the literal to value mappings for (ILiteral literal : enumeration.getEnumerationLiterals()) { // if this literal matches the attribute value if(literal.getIdentifier2().getStringIdentifier().equalsIgnoreCase(iaval[1])) { // display the usable name System.out.println("attribute name="+ia.getIdentifier() +", type"+"="+ia.getAttributeType()+" literal="+literal.getIdentifier2().getStringIdentifier()+" literal name="+literal.getName()); break; } } } } } catch (Exception e) { //System.out.println("Exception="+e.toString()); } } } } |
![]() Lauren, I replicated the same code above , IT DOESN'T WORKED. Any Sugg ? com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.IAttributeHandle handle = sourceworkItem.getCustomAttributes().get(0); IRepositoryItemService itemService = getService(IRepositoryItemService. class); IAttribute attribute = (IAttribute) itemService.fetchItem(handle, IRepositoryItemService. COMPLETE); System.out.println (" Get Cust Attribute Display Name :" + attribute.getDisplayName()); System.out.println (" Get Cust Attribute Type :" + attribute.getAttributeType()); |
