HI I got the data:

/*********get user name*************************

IContributorHandle wkspOwnerhandle = (IContributorHandle) data.getSourceWorkspace().getOwner();

IItem contributerHandle = itemService.fetchItem(wkspOwnerhandle, null);

IContributor userid = (IContributor) contributerHandle.getFullState();

String userName = userid.getName();

I did't use UUID but I got the userid of the wkspace owner on deliver operation - server side.

Regards,

Yehiel

HI,

I tried but did't make it.

I'm using server side plugin and need to have the username/userid on deliver action.

I thought I will make it like this:

String wkspOwner = data.getSourceWorkspace().getOwner().toString();

but it doesn't give the userid.

How can I get the userid out of the user UUID or how can I get the userid on deliver action (server side).

Need your assistance,

Yehiel

the contributormanager is correct.

in the javadoc here is the api

fetchContributorRecordByIdentity(IContributorIdentity identity,

which returns the contributor record from the identity, which is a UUID

IContributorRecord.getName(); will return the name.


and the javadoc is in the download section

If you're writing a client plugin, check out com.ibm.team.repository.client.IContributorManager. It looks like getting the user via UUID might be a pain, but if you can use a userId instead, that would be easier.

It's all about the answers!
