MQSeries.net :: View topic - Problem setting workitem Container element

Hi,

I am trying to set the value of a container element of a workitem through code. I the programmatically access the workitem, retrieve its container and try to set the element I want to change.

It seems to work (i.e. no errors) but the change does not take place and the container element remains unchanged. Note that the workitem is not in a 'checked out' state. In other parts of my system, I alter container elements when the item is checked out, and when I perform a 'check in' the container item does get set.

A code snippet of what I'm doing is:

ReadWriteContainer rwc = readonlycontainer.asReadWriteContainer();
String sContainerDueDate = request.getParameter("DueDate");
rwc.setString("DueDate", sContainerDueDate);
readonlycontainer = rwc.asReadOnlyContainer();
context.setContainer(readonlycontainer);
context.setWorkItem(workItem);

note the 'context' items at the end - I am using a modified version of the IBM web client.

If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful

thanks in advance,
David
