NullPointerException thrown when trying to link issues in jira 4.2

Here is my code for IssueLinking in jira4.2...

ComponentManager com = ComponentManager.getInstance();

IssueLinkManager issueLinkManager = com.getIssueLinkManager();//returns null pointer exception

JiraAuthenticationContext authenticationContext = com.getJiraAuthenticationContext();

issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(Long.parseLong(issue.getId()),Long.parseLong(issue.getId()),10010L,1L,authenticationContext.getUser());

But, when i run this,i get NullPointerException at getIssueLinkManager()...

Please tell me how to solve this and link 2 existing issues...

Are you sure the null pointer is thrown there? That line looks okay to me! You can may be add some debug statements to be sure.

The exception is thrown in that line only...

If you are on the latest version of JIRA, use this instead: IssueLinkManager issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
