Get Issue from BasicIssue in Jira

[Umang Kedia]

I am retrieving data from JIRA using Jira Java Rest Client(JRJC). For a JQL search, I get a List ofBasicIssue. See the API for reference

I want to get the list of Issue from the JQL result. A BasicIssue is different from Issue. See theAPI

The following operation which retrieves issue by using Issue key is very costly and takes much time.

issueClient.getIssue(BasicIssue.getKey(),npm)

npm is ProgressManager and issueClient is the IssueRestClient

Please suggest a better method for getting Issue from JQL result.

You can use the JRJC 2.0 version (which is not yet released, nor stable, and I can't yet say when it will be released, but we're releasing milestone versions that works quite well). The latest version is 2.0.0-m7. Using the new version you can get issues using the same SearchRestClient#searchJql method (it now returns rich Issue).

For the 1.x versions there is no better way than just get a list of basic issues and then retrieve details using IssueRestClient#getIssue.

In the 2.0 version we've changed the implementation to be asynchronous. This means that each method in JRJC now returns Promise, on which you have to call .claim() to get the result. Worth to mention is that when your'e done using JRJC it need to be cleanup now (to shoutdown threads) - it can be done by calling restClient.destroy().

Can you give me the link for milestone 7. I can find only m2 on this link https://maven.atlassian.com/public/com/atlassian/jira/jira-rest-java-client/

I am not talking about the plugin development. In Rest Client api there is only 2.0.0 m2 jar

[Aleksander Mierzwicki]

We've split the JRJC into subprojects, so you should use the core package: https://maven.atlassian.com/content/repositories/atlassian-public/com/atlassian/jira/jira-rest-java-client-core/2.0.0-m7/

I don't think thats the java client I need. On this link m2 is there. https://maven.atlassian.com/public/com/atlassian/jira/jira-rest-java-client/

I can't even find the dependecy for JiraRestClient in the jar you provided

[Umang Kedia]

In the Jira Rest core api docs I couldn't find all the classes. Do we need any other jar also besided jira rest client core

I was able to successfully retrieve data with com.atlassian.util.concurrent.Promise and com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.JiraRestClient:

JiraRestClient restClient = new AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory().createWithBasicHttpAuthentication(yourJiraServerURI, "yourUsername", "yourPassword");

Promise issuePromise = restClient.getIssueClient().getIssue(issueKey);
