Can I access the JIRA database from the Java code of my servlet plugin?

unknown

Hey guys. First of all I am completely new in JIRA developing.

I have to create a own table in the JIRA database where I can put my data.

So how can I do this and how can I use the JIRA database in the Java code of the Plugin? Is this even possible or do I have to store my data in another Database on the server where my jira is running? 

 

Thanks for helping

Hi Alexander - You could start with the developer documentation here:
https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-platform/building-jira-add-ons/jira-plugins2-overview/data-storage-for-jira-plugins

And read about about Active Objects, which gives your plugin as way to store data, here:

You can also use the developer community at  https://community.developer.atlassian.com to ask more detailed development related questions.
