Which module plugin use to export data of an issue?

David Sierra

Hi:

I want to develop a plugin with the Atlassian SDK to export data of an issue. My goal is to have this data in a file (.txt, .doc, .pdf...) but, if is very difficult, it would be useful to export the data to another web page (like in the Atlassian tutorial of the active objects).

To do this, which module plugin use to export data of an issue?

Thanks,

David Sierra

Hi David,

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but if your goal is to have a separate page where you'd show data of some issue, you can use either <webwork1> module or <servlet> module.

See these documentation pages: 

• https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-platform/building-jira-add-ons/jira-plugins2-overview/jira-plugin-module-types/webwork-plugin-module 
• https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-platform/building-jira-add-ons/jira-plugins2-overview/jira-plugin-module-types/servlet-plugin-module

You can also use servlet module to output a file of any type, so that going to the servlet's address would result in file download.

Hope this helps!
Igor
