How do I programatically set the attachment of an issue equal to the attachment of another issue?

[tommy guo]

I wish to programatically set an attachment to a newly created issue equal to the attachment that already exists on another issue. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

try with the following to copy attachments from other issue

AttachmentManager attchMgr = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager();
	AttachmentPathManager pathManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentPathManager();
	List<Attachment> attchments = attchMgr.getAttachments(sourceIssue);
	if (!attchments.isEmpty()) {
for (Attachment attachment : attchments) {
		String filePath = PathUtils.joinPaths(pathManager.getAttachmentPath(), sourceIssue.getProjectObject().getKey(), sourceIssue.getKey(), attachment.getId().toString());
		File atFile = new File(filePath);
		if (atFile.exists()) {
		try {
			if (atFile.canRead()) {
			attchMgr.createAttachmentCopySourceFile(atFile, attachment.getFilename(),attachment.getMimetype(), attachment.getAuthor(), issue, null,														attachment.getCreated());
			}
		} catch (SecurityException se) {
			System.out.println("Could not read attachment file. Not copying. (${se.message})");
		} catch (AttachmentException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	} else {
		System.out.println("Attachment file does not exist where it should. Not copying.");
	}
}
}

ts from one issue to another

Hi all,

"createAttachmentCopySourceFile" method deprecated since jira 6.0 and the new method is "createAttachment(CreateAttachmentParamsBean createAttachmentParamsBean)". So how can I implement a CreateAttachmentParamsBean? Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rambanam; I want to simple attach file to the issue without copying but when i attach the file using bellow code it will delete that file from directory. so for the next issue it give FileNotFoundException.

[Sachin Dhamale]

File file = new File("C:\\Documents and Settings\\eQuest\\Desktop\\Geometric\\test.txt"); ChangeItemBean changeItemBean = attachmentManager.createAttachment(file, file.getName(), "text/plain", user, issue, new HashMap(), time);

I've tried saving the attachments into a temporaryAttachmentMonitor but it's not working because I can't cast an attachment to a temporaryattachment:

AttachmentManager attachManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getAttachmentManager();

List<Attachment> myAttachments = attachManager.getAttachments(issue);

TemporaryAttachmentsMonitor myTempAttachments =

new TemporaryAttachmentsMonitor();

for (Attachment attachment : myAttachments)

{

myTempAttachments.add( attachment);

}

I know I can use AttachmentManager.getAttachments(Issue) to get all the attachments available on a particular issue, but how do I transfer these attachments onto another issue?
