Java Object values inside of javascript

Question

Hi,

I want to display object variables values in dialog box.

function showSth(myObj) {
        	var dialog = new AJS.Dialog(860, 530);
			dialog.addPanel("Panel 1", "here I want to put object values", "panel-body");
			alert(myObj);
			dialog.show();
}

As parameter I give java model object, that extends Entity interface, but after click on button nothing happens.

I would be appreciated for any code examples

I have been through this tutorial and found it helpful: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Incomplete+Plugin+Tutorial+-+Writing+REST+Services

Says incomplete but I got what I needed from it.

Do you have any Java code examples, because examples in https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+REST+API+Version+2+Tutorial was in Python

I'd have a look at the REST tutorial. The "wrong" way to do it is have your javascript generated by a velocity template, which has access to the java objects.

The "right" way is to write a REST module, when your dialog is opened it makes an ajax request, receives JSON, and displays it as it needs to.
