What dependency is the webwork library in?

Kirk Walek

I am using the Atlassian plugin SDK to create a plugin. I am trying to import the following two classes:

import webwork.action.ServletActionContext;
import webwork.multipart.MultiPartRequestWrapper;

However, my IDE (IntelliJ) states that the symbol 'webwork' cannot be resolved. When I try building the plugin it has no problem building. But then when I import the plugin onto a server the pages that use the faulty import don't load, they instead return a 500 error.

 

My guess is that I don't have the right dependency in my maven file, but I was unable to figure what that dependency would be.

Hello,

Webwork is situated in webwork-1.4-atlassian-30.jar. I guess it comes from

<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
<artifactId>jira-api</artifactId>
<version>${jira.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>       

Also add this dependency

<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

I think that required dependencies were not imported in your project. Try to find the jar above in your IDE in external libraries. I think it does not exist. If it does not exist, then:

1. Check that you connected your project to the maven from atlassian sdk in your IDE. It must be explicitly set in your IDE because by default the  maven from IDE is used.

2. Go to the plugin folder in terminal and execute atlas-maven eclipse:eclipse (it does not matter if you use IDEA, just execute it). After it try to reimport maven dependencies in your IDE.

If it does not help, provide pom.xml, atlassian-plugin.xml and your webwork class
