Java API: setting workspace visibility to project area scope


Oscar Picasso (311420) | asked Jan 21 '14, 10:22 a.m.
 Hi,

What is the proper way, with the java API 4.0.3, to set the visibility of a repository workspace to scoped to a particular project area.

I tried something like the code below, with different combinations of parameters including with IScmService.NOOP_OWNER or IScmService.DEFAULT_VISIBILITY but it fails with different exceptions like "Invalid scope for Contributor owner", "Workspace may only have contributor owners" etc.

IWorkspaceConnection targetFlow = ...;
IWorkspaceConnection workspace = workspaceManager
.createWorkspace(repo.loggedInContributor(), "workspace name",
"description", targetFlow, targetFlow,
NULL_PROGRESS_MONITOR);
IProcessAreaHandle area = targetFlow
.getProcessArea(NULL_PROGRESS_MONITOR);
ProcessAreaScope scope = (ProcessAreaScope) IReadScope.FACTORY
        .createProcessAreaScope();
scope.setProcessArea(area);
workspace.setOwnerAndVisibility(?,
?, NULL_PROGRESS_MONITOR);

Using IScmService.NOOP_OWNER is correct since you don't want to change the owner. If you do change the owner, it must be a contributor for your repository workspace.

For the visibility, you want to change the scope to a project area so don't use the IScmService.DEFAULT_VISIBILITY. To define a new scope, use IReadScope.FACTORY.createContributorDeferringScope() to get an instance of a new scope. Then set the scope on it to your project area. This scope instance is what you pass in for the IWorkspaceConnection.setOwnerAndVisibility(...) call.
