Checking if a Jira user exist by username

[Tataru Sebastian]

Hi all,

I want to check from Java code whether an user exists in Jira or not, by username. I am using the functions described in this documentation, but unfortunately there isn't one for this kind of check:

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-rest-java-client/2.0.0-m2/apidocs/index.html?com/atlassian/jira/rest/client/domain

Do you have any suggestion on how can I resolve this?

Thank you in advance!
