Get comments from a custom content type via REST

[Oliver Wevers]

I have created a custom content type and now I want to use Confluence-REST to assign comments or properties to it. There is always an error that this type is not supported, is there a possibility that REST can use or do I have to build one myself?

Can you double check your implementation of the ```ContentTypeApiSupport``` class

You should have the method ```supportsChildrenOfType``` implemented

@Component("communityApiSupport")
public class CommunityApiSupport implements ContentTypeApiSupport<CustomContentEntityObject> {

    private static final String COMMUNITY_TYPE_KEY = "atlassian.confluence.community:community-type";

    private final CustomContentManager customContentManager;
    private final SpaceManager spaceManager;

    @Autowired
    public CommunityApiSupport(
            @ComponentImport final CustomContentManager customContentManager,
            @ComponentImport final SpaceManager spaceManager) {
        this.customContentManager = customContentManager;
        this.spaceManager = spaceManager;
    }

    @Override
    public ContentType getHandledType() {
        return ContentType.valueOf(COMMUNITY_TYPE_KEY);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean supportsChildrenOfType(ContentType contentType) {
        return contentType.in(ContentType.ATTACHMENT, ContentType.COMMENT);
    }

    ...
}

 That tells the custom content API that comments are allowed on your custom type, therefore everything works as expected. For a sample implementation please have a look at https://bitbucket.org/viqueen/confluence-community/src/ad754ddc59b08746fa0a37d4122c3aadd924b261/src/main/java/com/atlassian/confluence/community/type/CommunityApiSupport.java?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default#CommunityApiSupport.java-63

Hope this helps
