Proper way to use Active Objects in Jira 7.2.2 plugin

[shashank_sanjay]

Hello,

I am trying to build a JIRA 7.2.2 plugin that uses Active Objects to store some json and other data. Before getting to save operations though, I get this error:

Here are the relevant pom.xml blocks, note i have only pasted relevant blocks, they are not under the same tag in my actual file:

      <interface>com.seguira.jira.plugin.ta.service.GraphService</interface>
  </component>

GraphServiceImpl.java:

public class GraphServiceImpl implements GraphService{
    
    private final ActiveObjects ao;
    private final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(GraphServiceImpl.class.getName());
    
    public GraphServiceImpl(ActiveObjects ao) {
        this.ao = ao;
    }

And finally, the REST class:

@Path("/message")
public class GraphRest {

private final GraphService graphService;

public GraphRest(GraphService graphService)
{
this.graphService = graphService;
}

I appreciate the help, thanks!

Its most likely your entities.

eException: Circular dependency detected

The one thing you don't show is the actual entity definitions.  If each refer to each other, that's probably the cause.

Yep, i found the answer this morning here: https://java.net/jira/browse/ACTIVEOBJECTS-33

I have a onetomany and had a setter.

Well that's the stacktrace - what's the exception mmessage? Which ao version are you using?

did you add the ao configuration to the JIRA maven plugin?

You might want to ask the question over the new shiny Developer Community: https://community.developer.atlassian.com/

Hi Daniel,

The AO version is 1.2.3 as shown in the pom.xml excerpt. Both relevant plugin.xml and pom.xml snippets are pasted below the stacktrace. 

The error is just 500 server error. When looking at the network response or command line, it shows the stack trace
