Not able to update the exisiting confluence using Java Rest API

[Naveen Kumar D P]

Hi,

We are using confluence cloud instance,

we are trying to edit the existing confluence page using the page ID.I have attached the code below.

public static void main(String[] args) throws JSONException,
AuthenticationException, ClientHandlerException,
ClassNotFoundException, SQLException, ParseException, IOException {
String urlLink = "";
String auth = new String(Base64.encode(""));
String updatePage =
"{\n" +
"\"type\":\"page\",\n" +
"\"ancestors\":\n" +
" [\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"type\":\"page\",\n" +
" \"id\":1501003952\n" +
" }\n" +
" ],\n" +
"\"title\":\"Sprint Macro\",\n" +
"\"space\":\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"key\":\"LAS\"\n" +
" },\n" +
"\"body\":\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"storage\":\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"value\":\"<ac:structured-macro ac:name=\\\"attachments\\\">\n" +
" <ac:parameter ac:name=\\\"old\\\">false<\\/ac:parameter> <ac:parameter ac:name=\\\"patterns\\\">*<\\/ac:parameter> \n" +
" <ac:parameter ac:name=\\\"sortBy\\\">name<\\/ac:parameter> <ac:parameter ac:name=\\\"sortOrder\\\">ascending<\\/ac:parameter> \n" +
" <ac:parameter ac:name=\\\"labels\\\"><\\/ac:parameter> <ac:parameter ac:name=\\\"upload\\\">false<\\/ac:parameter> <\\/ac:structured-macro>\",\n" +
" \"representation\":\"storage\"\n" +
" }\n" +
" }\n" +
"}";
// rest/api/content/
// System.out.println(updatePage);
String Page = invokePostMethod(auth, urlLink ,updatePage);
}

private static String invokePostMethod(String auth, String url, String data)
throws AuthenticationException, ClientHandlerException {
Client client = Client.create();
WebResource webResource = client.resource(url);
ClientResponse response = webResource
.header("Authorization", "Basic " + auth)
.type("application/json").accept("application/json")
.post(ClientResponse.class, data);
System.out.println("Client Responce " + response);
int statusCode = response.getStatus();
System.out.println("Status Code " + statusCode);
if (statusCode == 401) {
throw new AuthenticationException("Invalid Username or Password");
}
return response.getEntity(String.class);
}
}

Please correct me if i missed anywhere in the code.

Thanks

Naveen

The main downside is that attachments can grow rapidly and your DBAs may not be too happy with it.

However, on top of that, I wouldn't do it now - database storage of attachments was deprecated in Confluence 5.5

You beat me to it. :)

Ok. Looks like database storage is deprecated. So, nevermind.
