how to get object of ApplicationUser?

[David Lemon]

I want to get ApplicationUser object, And i have 'IssueEvent event' and i have 'event.getUser'.

i am trying to do AttachmentManager.createAttachment(CreateAttachmentParamBean)

jira version 6.0.1 api version 4.2

where

public CreateAttachmentParamsBean(File file,
                                  String filename,
                                  String contentType,
                                  ApplicationUser author,
                                  Issue issue,
                                  Boolean zip,
                                  Boolean thumbnailable,
                                  Map<String,Object> attachmentProperties,
                                  Date createdTime,
                                  Boolean copySourceFile)

requires 'ApplicationUser author' .

         ApplicationUser applicationUser = 
new DelegatingApplicationUser(key,user);

DelegatingApplicationUser(String key, com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User user)

Hi Sohil

try somthing like this:

import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser;

        final String sEventUser;
        final User eventUser =  issueEvent.getUser();
        if (eventUser == null)
        {
            ... your error handling
        }
        else
        {
            sEventUser = eventUser.getName();
        }
        
        final ApplicationUser appUser = ApplicationUsers.from(eventUser);

I hope this can help you.

Thanks Ulrich but tell me what is this code doing??

if (eventUser == null)
        {
            ... your error handling
        }
        else
        {
            sEventUser = eventUser.getName();
        }

and what is the use of

sEventUser

Hi Sohil,

I used the string sEventUser later in my plugin for logging.
I think you need only the line:

final ApplicationUser appUser = ApplicationUsers.from(eventUser);

Sorry if I confused you.

Hi Ulrich,

How can i get ApplicationUsers??

final ApplicationUser appUser = ApplicationUsers.from(eventUser); is giving me error to declare ApplicationUsers class.

its not importing ApplicationUsers class

Please suggest.
