How to create new Issue in java

[S R]

I m using ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory().getIssue()

But it returns null.

How to implement this functionality?

Creating and Editing an Issue :)

It seems like the correct method. Does getIssueFactory() returns null? Is it correctly instantiated?

Then i'm doing

issueObject.setProjectId(new Long(10000));

issueObject.setIssueTypeId("Bug");

issueObject.setSummary("summary");

ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().createIssueObject(

ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser(), issueObject);

And returns com.atlassian.jira.exception.CreateException: com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowException

Um, you can't "get" an issue until it exists, so I'm not sure where your code came from.

Anyway, last time I wrote something to create an issue from scratch, I based it on the code from https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Plugin+Tutorial+-+JIRA+Issue+CRUD+and+Search - there may be better pages or tutorials, but I quite like that one because it covers create, edit and find in one place.

According to the documentation, getIssue() is supposed to create an issue.

Um, not in the document I posted. What are you reading? Also, in nearly two years, stuff changes. Why are you posting here? What are you actually stuck on?

In the JIRA 5.1 API documentation: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/5.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/IssueFactory.html#getIssue()

We are on 5.1 so I thought it would still apply.

Ah, yes, but it doesn't quite create a new issue, just an object to represent one.
