false

, a search token is also returned.

GetTasks

request:

Fetch a set of tasks that match the criteria specified in the request.

GetTasks Request Usage Example

The following example retrieves the overdue tasks assigned to the user named 'admin'.

GetTasksRequest request = new GetTasksRequest();
TaskMetaData taskMetadata = new TaskMetaData();
taskMetadata.setOwnerUid("USER.admin");
request.setTaskMetaData(taskMetadata);
request.setOverdueOnly(true);
GetTasksResponse response = (GetTasksResponse) sipClient.process(request);

Use the following line of code to return tasks with a priority of 1:

taskMetadata.setPriority(1);

Use the following line of code to return the task that has a task ID of '1234':

taskMetadata.setTaskId("1234");

GetTasks Response Usage Example

The code in the following example shows how to print out the records returned by the

GetTasks

response.

GetTasksResponse response = new GetTasksResponse();
int i=0; 
for(Iterator iter=response.getTaskList().iterator(); iter.hasNext();)
{ //iterate through response records 
  System.out.println("Printing task " + i);
  TaskMetaData task = (TaskMetaData) iter.next(); 
  System.out.println(task.getTitle()+", "+task.getTaskType()+", "+task.getStatus()); 
}
