Take Rest for JIRA!!!

Yesterday when I was going through some article, I saw lots requests and comments for JIRA REST JAVA Client!!!

I wondered and decided to provide the REST JAVA API for JIRA, and this is the one.

Connecting to JIRA using JAVA REST API is really a very easy thing like Ice Cream Sandwich ;) :)  and can be written in a plain vanilla flavor.

Today I'm providing you the search operation functionality to get the tickets.


/**
     * Gets all the issues based on the query and displays .... !!!!
     *
     * @param username the username
     * @param password the password
     * @param url the url
     * @return the all issues
     * @throws AuthenticationException the authentication exception
     * @throws JSONException the jSON exception
     */
    private static void getAllIssues(String username, String password, String url)    throws AuthenticationException, JSONException
    {
        final String auth = new String(Base64.encode(username + ":" + password));
        final Client client = Client.create();
        final WebResource webResource = client.resource(url);
        final ClientResponse response = webResource.header("Authorization", "Basic " + auth).type("application/json")
                .accept("application/json").get(ClientResponse.class);
        final int statusCode = response.getStatus();
        if (statusCode == 401)
        {
            throw new AuthenticationException("Invalid Username or Password");
        }
        final String stringResponse = response.getEntity(String.class);
        System.out.println("sr: " + stringResponse);
    }

Usage of the above method:
1) getAllIssues("krishna", "krishna", "http://server:8080/rest/api/latest/search?jql");

fetches all the issues.. !!!

2)  getAllIssues("krishna", "krishna", " http://server:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/Issue-84?expand=schema,names,transitions");

It gets all the issue whose key is Issue-84.... !!!

Have FUN...!!!!
