Modifying the Rest OAuth example to include a JSON body in the request?

[Deleted user]

I managed to get the example provided here to work.

https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+REST+API+Example+-+OAuth+authentication

But the example does not illustrate how a JSON body should be added to a request. Obviously, this is necessary in order to perform most POST operations such as creating an issue.

I tried to figure this out by myself but no luck so far. The problem is the OAuthClient class in the library used in the example does not seem to support adding a body to the request.

Any help would be appreciated.

I overloaded AtlassianOAuthClient.makeAuthenticatedRequest to support request body. Seems to work.

    public String makeAuthenticatedRequest(String url, String accessToken,
            InputStream bodyAsStream, String contentLength) throws Exception
    {
        
        boolean suppressNPE = false;
        //System.out.println("URL: " + url);
        String method = OAuthMessage.POST;
        if(url.matches(".*/issue/.+")){
            //System.out.println("Changing method to PUT...");
            method = OAuthMessage.PUT;
            suppressNPE = true;
        }
        OAuthAccessor accessor = getAccessor();
        OAuthClient client = new OAuthClient(new HttpClient4());
        accessor.accessToken = accessToken;
        OAuthMessage request = accessor.newRequestMessage(method, url, Collections.<Map.Entry<?,?>>emptySet(), bodyAsStream);
        List<Map.Entry<String,String>> headers = request.getHeaders();
        headers.add(new OAuth.Parameter(HttpMessage.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
        headers.add(new OAuth.Parameter(HttpMessage.CONTENT_LENGTH, contentLength));
        OAuthMessage response = client.invoke(request, ParameterStyle.QUERY_STRING);

        String responseString = "";
        try{
            responseString = response.readBodyAsString();
        }catch(NullPointerException npe){
            if(!suppressNPE){
                throw npe;
            }
        }

        return responseString;
    }
