Hi Mizan,

There is not a plugin that I know of, that can do this.

If you are familiar with plugin development, you can create a plugin in Jira to add a Confluence space. Use an EventListener in Jira to react on the event of creating a new project. Then add a space in Confluence using the SOAP API.

Documentation links:

EventListener plugin in Jira: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Plugin+Tutorial+-+Writing+JIRA+event+listeners+with+the+atlassian-event+library

SOAP RPC interface Confluence: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Confluence+XML-RPC+and+SOAP+APIs

Jira and Confluence communication: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Plugin+Tutorial+-+Application+Links+in+JIRA

If you are not sure how to develop a plugin, contact an Atlassian expert to have them develop it for you. See: http://www.atlassian.com/resources/experts

Good luck!

Thanks for providing these useful links, i am familiar with creating plugins however i have a doubt that there is an event of creating a project in the event library .

I don't believe there is. You could write a service (quite easy with the script runner plugin) that checks that for each project there is a corresponding space, and creates one if there is not. There is a similar question about the confluecne soap api active right now.

[Andrew Frayling]

Automatically creating a Confluence space when a project is created in JIRA is default behaviour in OnDemand. Might be nice if Atlassian could publish their solution, or blog it to share with the community?

Thanx Jamie , il try to create this service. how to check whether a project has a space associated ? and yes i checked that question, after able to create a space for every project i have to create a page for the issues :)

[JamieA]

IMHO you want to separate the provisioning process from creating the jira project, have something separate altogether, that creates the projects across the tools, including any source control repos etc.

Hi Jamie ,

I am trying to create a service which will check all the projects and corresponding spaces if for a project ther is no space associated then a space will be created .

But before creating a service i tried the below code on the script runner panel but i getan exception

unable to resolve class org.swift.common.soap.confluence.ConfluenceSoapServiceServiceLocator

import org.swift.common.soap.confluence.ConfluenceSoapServiceServiceLocator

def locator = new ConfluenceSoapServiceServiceLocator()
def service = locator.getConfluenceserviceV2(new URL("http://localhost:8090"))
def token = service.login("admin", "password")

return(""+token)

I have copied the confluence-soap-model-0.1.jar in WEB-INF/lib my Jira version is 4.3.2 .

Thanx

I referred this question and i am able to run a script which creates a page in the script runner panel.

Is there any document which provides details about the soap api . I found this but this does not tell which package/class to import

Any luck?

you should be able to use the JIRA CLI plugin to handle this. I have tested the Confluence CLI plugin to create a JIRA project from Confluence.

Can you please share your script?

Hey Mian

I'm surprised this issue hasn't attracted more interest!

I observed the functionality in OnDemand when I started evaluating a few weeks aga, and was surprised to see it missing in Download.

Is it possible?

Has anyone developed a solution?

cheers

we have written (or in proces with some features) for our purposes separate website where u can create jira project / conf space / version control using SOAP and REST apis

Hi Alex

Where did you get to with this?

Hi Mizan

Have you finally made the plugin? If so, could you share it? I'm looking for something similar.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
