Post Request Denied (405)

[georgiossalon]

I am trying to post a Version in Jira through Java and the REST API.

Unfortunately, I am getting a 405 (request denied). I do know that I am able to use GET and I know that it is possible to also POST. I am under the impression that the problem lies in the libraries making the request.

A college that used that same username and password managed to POST. He used Groovy and in addition other libraries.

In the following my code:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException;import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.JsonNodeFactory;import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.ObjectNode;import com.mashape.unirest.http.HttpResponse;import com.mashape.unirest.http.JsonNode;import com.mashape.unirest.http.ObjectMapper;import com.mashape.unirest.http.Unirest;import com.mashape.unirest.http.exceptions.UnirestException;
import java.io.IOException;

public class testPost { 
 public static void main (String[] args) {

 // The payload definition using the Jackson library 
 JsonNodeFactory jnf = JsonNodeFactory.instance; 
 ObjectNode payload = jnf.objectNode(); 
{ payload.put("description", "An excellent version."); 
  payload.put("name", "New Version 1"); 
  payload.put("releaseDate", "2010-07-06"); 
  payload.put("project","KEY"); }
 
 // Connect Jackson ObjectMapper to Unirest 
 Unirest.setObjectMapper(new ObjectMapper() { 
  private com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper jacksonObjectMapper
   = new com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper();
 public <T> T readValue(String value, Class<T> valueType) {
  try { 
   return jacksonObjectMapper.readValue(value, valueType); 
  } catch (IOException e) { 
   throw new RuntimeException(e); 
  } 
 }

 public String writeValue(Object value) {
  try { return jacksonObjectMapper.writeValueAsString(value); 
  } catch (JsonProcessingException e) { 
   e.printStackTrace(); } return ""; 
  } 
 });
 
 // This code sample uses the 'Unirest' library: 
 // http://unirest.io/java.html 

 HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = null; 
 try { 
  response = Unirest.post("https://example.net/jira/rest/api/2/project/KEY/versions") 
   .basicAuth("username", "password") 
   .header("Accept", "application/json") 
   .header("Content-Type", "application/json") 
   .body(payload) 
   .asJson(); 
 } catch ( UnirestException e) {
   e.printStackTrace(); 
 } 
System.out.println(response.getBody());}}

Found the error. The URL was wrong. It should be like the following:

https://example.net/jira/rest/api/2/version
