Webhook POST response object class (java)

Question

After creating a webhook I'm getting a big JSON structure via POST. Is it possible to use a java Class/Bean from JIRA API to represent this structured object?

I need to create a Java REST service handling ticket events in our environment.

@Matteo Welcome to the community.

A simple answer to your question is, you can surely create Bean via response of web hook.

A more elaborated answer,

* Most of the time JSON structure return by web hook doesn't alter, and you can create Bean based on structure you are receiving
* Later, you can use Jackson or GSON like parser to fill in Bean values.
* This package contain some Beans that are used by Atlassian itself in Jira - https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/com/atlassian/jira/plugins/webhooks/serializer/bean/package-summary.html

I hope this helps.
