You can lock tasks by using the Java API and web services.
Locking a task prevents other users from working on it. When a task
is locked, a lock icon appears on the task card in Workspace.
Summary of steps
To lock a task, perform the following tasks:
Include project files.
Create a TaskManager Client API object.
Lock a task.
Include project files
Include necessary files into your development
project. Because you are creating a client application by using
Java, include the necessary JAR files.
Create a TaskManager Client API object
Before you can lock a
task, you must create a TaskManager object.
Locking a task
To lock a task, reference the task by using its
identifier. You can determine the task identifier by retrieving
tasks that are assigned to a specific user.
Include client JAR files,
such as adobe-taskmanager-client-sdk.jar, in your Java project’s
class path.
Create a TaskManager Client API object
Create
a ServiceClientFactory object that contains connection properties.
Create a TaskManager object by invoking
the TaskManagerClientFactory object’s static getTaskManager method
and passing the ServiceClientFactory object.
Locking a task
Lock a task by invoking the TaskManager object’s lockTask method
and passing the task identifier value. You can determine the task
identifier by retrieving tasks that are assigned to a specific user.
Note: You can unlock a task by invoking the TaskManager object’s unlockTask method.
Create a Microsoft
.NET client assembly that consumes the TaskManager service WSDL.
To create a proxy object that lets you invoke its operations by using
Base64 encoding, specify this WSDL definition:
Using
the Microsoft .NET client assembly, create a TaskManagerServiceService object
by invoking its default constructor.
Set the TaskManagerServiceService object’s Credentials data member
with a System.Net.NetworkCredential value that specifies
the user name and password value.
Locking a task
Lock a task by invoking the TaskManagerServiceService object’s lockTask method
and passing the task identifier value and a System.Boolean value
that specifies true (this argument value informs the
Task Manager service to use the task identifier value). You can
determine the task identifier by retrieving tasks that are assigned
to a specific user. (See Retrieving Tasks Assigned to Users.)
Note: You can unlock a task by invoking the TaskManagerServiceService object’s unlockTask method.
