Is there a Java library for the Xray REST API?

[Dominik]

Hi,

I use Java to communicate with JIRA to create Xray tests and populate fields. This is quite easy with Atlassian's jira-rest-java-client-api. However, specific Xray REST operations (e.g., to add a Pre-Condition to a Test) are missing.

Before I try coding it myself, I'd like to know if there is any Java wrapper for the Xray REST interface already out there or under development...

Regards,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,

No currently there is no Java Wrapper already out or under development for the Xray Rest API, but you can make a rest call from java to do the specific Xray Rest operations you want to. 

In the next Xray release 1.12.0 we are gonna release a new Xray Rest API that will allow you to do more operations that you currently are not able too, but for example adding a Pre-condition to a test is only planned for release 2.0.0. If you wish you can watch it here.

Best Regards,
André Rodrigues

Thanks for your explanation. Then it will take at least until Sept. 2016 before I can add Pre-Conditions through the Xray REST interface...

https://github.com/wapophis/XrayJiraRestClient cover the same functionality than the rest api exposed by default.

It would be great to update this JAVA client to the latest REST API improvements brought with Xray for JIRA v2.0.
