To create and send a work item, the example code uses a class called WorkItemExample, which is an extension of the LoginExample class. (Please refer to Accessing the EPX Server for more information about the LoginExample class and how it provides login and logout methods for the user.) The WorkItemExample class implements the getStartingPointList(), createWorkItem(), addWorkItemVersionCommentList(), and sendWorkItemVersion()methods demonstrate the use of the WorkItemFacade methods for retrieving starting point activity lists, creating and sending work items with work item properties, and then annotating a work item with user-defined comments.
