Jersey with JIRA

[Hamish Dickson]

Hi there

I am attempting to write an event listener plugin that will call a rest server my company has when an issue is created. There are some good tutorials knocking about so creating the actual bare bones plugin wasn't too hard - however, when I attempt to add in this dependency

<dependency>
			<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
			<artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
			<version>1.9</version>
		</dependency>

the world ends and I get this when starting up my server with atlas-run...

And then all my plugins fail, my jira server "locks" and it's basically the end of the world

Does anyone know what's causing this? I am 99.999% sure I only have one version of Activator, so this Casting exception is really puzzling me ..

Cheers!

Hello,

according to https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/REST+Plugin+Module#RESTPluginModule-JAX-RSandJersey, JIRA uses Jersey internally already. If you override Jersey by your plugin, JIRA system plugins stop working.

The solution is easy, pom.xml should be:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
<version>1.8-atlassian-15</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

AND two command after:

atlas-clean :: get rid from cashed jars in your target

atlas-run :: build and re-run JIRA

Take a look at using https://developer.atlassian.com/static/javadoc/sal/2.6/reference/com/atlassian/sal/api/net/RequestFactory.htmlinstead.

If you still want to use Jersey to make the http calls - you'll need to start going through the dependency tree in maven and figure out where the bad dependency is being introduced...

[Terry Jeske]

I think you need to leverage atlassian's version of the jersey libraries. I use these and it works.

<dependency>
			<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
			<artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
			<version>1.8-atlassian-14</version>
			<scope>provided</scope>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
			<artifactId>jersey-core</artifactId>
			<version>1.8-atlassian-14</version>
			<scope>provided</scope>
		</dependency>

same for me in a confluence plugin.

Hi Hamish,

Did you find any solution for this? I am facing the same issue.

[Tarun Sapra]

Hi Hamish,

You can achieve that by calling the rest service from the post function using script ruuner plugin.
