workingCopy.getReferences() returns stale results

Hi,

I am connecting to RTC via the plain java libraries, and I can read work items and their references (attachments, etc) using workingCopy.getReferences(). However, if a user adds a new attachment to the work item using the web client, my plain java client continues to see the old list of references.

How do I force the java client to go and get the most recent version of these references?

PS: I tried doing repository.itemManager().refreshSharedItems, but no luck.

Thanks & regards,
