I'm using Mylyn Web Templates Connector 3.0.2.I20080825-0800-e3x with Ganymede. The forge software I use provides two types of items I wish to manage with Mylyn, TRACKER items, and TASK items. I am able to build queries to retrieve the list of each of these items using specific queries with QUERY URL and QUERY PATTERN specified. To retrieve an individual item from the list, it is necessary to define the TASK URL in the repository configuration. So far, I am not able to define a single generalized TASK URL that will correctly retrieve these two types of items. The URL to retrieve an individual TRACKER is http://licorne.frec.bull.fr/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=309697&group_id=214&atid=1350419 The URL to retrieve an individual TASK is http://licorne.frec.bull.fr/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=954&group_id=214&group_project_id=192 These two urls have little in common. They use the same repository host name, but from there on, things are different enough that I'm not able to generalize them. I attempted to define a second repository at the same host name, and this was rejected because a repository already existed. And since the TASK URL is only specified at the repository level, it was not possible to define a custom TASK URL for an individual query. One workaround is to create a new repository using IP address instead of host name. Another workaround is to create a second repository with hostname and port. ex: http://licorne.frec.bull.fr:80 It would be nice if I could simply define a TASK url specific to a query.
Can a single query return TASKs as well as TRACKER items?
(In reply to comment #1) > Can a single query return TASKs as well as TRACKER items? No, it takes two different queries to retrieve these different typs of items. However, the current Web Templates implementation allows me to define a QUERY URL for each type of query (TRACKER and TASK), so I am able to obtain lists of these items. The problem is that when I click on an item to open it, there is only one repository TASK URL (not to be confused with the TASK items in my forge) so what I end up with is a list of forge TASKS with hotlinks that try to retrieve forge TRACKER items. What is needed is a corresponding TASK URL associated with an individual query.
