How to update global variables through a plugin?

[vamsi k]

I'm trying to update a global variable that contains authentication token. This token must be updated every 90 days. what is the atlassian code to do so?

Found from online there is com.atlassian.bamboo.configuration.variable.ConfigureGlobalVariables. how to initialize it and add bamboo plan to run periodically and update authentication token.

For reference you can check com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.rest.admin.globalvariable.RestGlobalVariableServiceImpl#updateGlobalVariable

final VariableDefinition variableDefinition = variableDefinitionManager.findVariableDefinition(variableId);
/*or*/

variableDefinition = variableDefinitionManager.getGlobalVariables().stream().filter(byName).findFirst().get();

String preValue = variableDefinition.getValue();
variableDefinition.setValue("new value");
variableConfigurationService.updateVariableDefinition(variableDefinition, preValue);

How do we initialize  variableDefinitionManager?

 If I have a global variable 

        key:fortify.auth.token

        value: xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx

Will String preValue=variableDefinition.getValue(); sets preValue to xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx?

Will variableDefinition.setValue("yyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyy"); save global variable fortify.auth.token to yyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyy perimenently {All the plans uses new value instead of previous value}?

_______________________________________________

can you provide me sample code that updates global variable in above case using 

• com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.rest.admin.globalvariable.RestGlobalVariableServiceImpl #
• updateGlobalVariable(javax.ws.rs.core.UriInfo uriInfo, long variableId,RestGlobalVariable restGlobalVariable)

How to initialize uriInfo to a link http://xxxxxxx:zzzzz/kfdjg/dfd/

and restGlobalVariable?

add it 

@ComponentImport
@Autowired
private VariableDefinitionManager variableDefinitionManager

or in atlassian-plugin.xml

<component-import key="variableDefinitionManager" interface="com.atlassian.bamboo.variable.VariableDefinitionManager" />

It is not reporing variableDefinitionManger bean not found error.

Can you say me jar to be includedin pom.xml?
