How can I add a (project) component while creating an issue using the JAVA-API?

[Steve Gerstner [bridgingIT]]

Hi @all,

I create an Issue via the JIRA-JAVA-API (a little bit old school)...

Everything works fine, but I can't add components, maybe someone knows, what is wrong....

MutableIssue issue = issueFactory.getIssue();
...
ProjectComponent component = null;
component = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager().find(cid);
issue.getComponentObjects().add(component);                        
...
im.createIssueObject(user.getDirectoryUser(), issue);

The code above is a little bit simplified...

While debugging, the component object is exactly what I want and what I expected.

But, everything is set fine but not the component which is not set...

So... Any ideas?

Regards

Steve

Hi Steve!

I think you need to use setComponentObjects:

component = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager().find(cid);
issue.setComponentObjects(issue.getComponentObjects().add(component));

The javadoc says nothing what getComponentObjects returns when there is no components and I just thought that it might return null. Anyway you will discover this while testing :-)
