Hi, you need to use the WorkingCopyManager, see the code below. As described in http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/08/01/uploading-attachments-to-work-items/ I personally prefer to use the WorkItemOperation as described in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ProgrammaticWorkItemCreation which nicely wraps all the fiddly bits and leaves doing the part I am really interested in. I try to collect examples I found in the blog. Only issue: Wordpress is blocked in China.


            IWorkItemClient  workItemService = (IWorkItemClient) targetRepository
            .getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);
            IWorkItemHandle handle = workItemService.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager()
                    .connectNew(mappedInternalWorkItemType, monitor);
            WorkItemWorkingCopy wc = workItemService.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager()
                    .getWorkingCopy(handle);
            IWorkItem workItem = wc.getWorkItem();
            try {
                
                workItem.setCreator(workPackageInitialCreator);
                workItem.setOwner(workPackageInitialOwner);
                workItem.setHTMLSummary(XMLString
                        .createFromPlainText(sSummary));
                workItem.setHTMLDescription(XMLString
                        .createFromPlainText(sDescript));
                           
                try {
                    if (!workItem.hasCustomAttribute(externalIDWorkItemAttribute)) {
                        IAttribute newAttribute = externalIDWorkItemAttribute;
                        workItem.addCustomAttribute(newAttribute);
                        workItem.setValue(newAttribute, sFId);
                    }
                   
                } catch (RuntimeException e) {
                    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
                    System.out.println(e.toString());
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
           
                IDetailedStatus s = wc.save(monitor);
                if (!s.isOK()) {
                    throw new TeamRepositoryException("Error saving work item",
                            s.getException());
                }
            } finally {
                workItemService.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager().disconnect(workItem);
            }

Hi Ralph,

 I am trying to create a workitem using java client. While executing below line:
IWorkItemType workItemType = service.findWorkItemType(projectArea, "Defect",  monitor);

i am getting following exception:
