Can't get Active Objects to work in Jira Plugin

[Yiraphic __ Peeters]

I am currently doing an internship that involves creating Jira plugins to solve some problems the users at the company experience with Jira. For the first extension I need to create a new section on the view issue page where users can put input and edit the input. In order to do this I've created a web-panel which contains a input. But no matter what I try (And I've been trying different things for the last 3 weeks) I can't get active objects to work.

Currently the moment the plugin tries to load in jira it shows the error: "_Error rendering 'tig.jira.extension.tigPasswordExtension:issue-page-input'. Please contact your JIRA administrators._" and when I try to test the REST API call in the restbrowser it shows the error:

_""message": "AOP configuration seems to be invalid: tried calling method [public abstract net.java.ao.RawEntity[] com.atlassian.activeobjects.external.ActiveObjects.find(java.lang.Class,net.java.ao.Query)] on target [com.atlassian.activeobjects.osgi.TenantAwareActiveObjects@12bfb51b]; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class",_
_  "status-code": 500,"_

Is there anyone here that can replicate my problem and pinpoint what I am screwing up?

[Alexey Matveev]

I did not check it. But the problem is that you added sal dependency and active objects dependency without the scope parameter which means that these libraries will be packed in your jar and will be used from your jar, which means that they will not be initialized properly and you may have problems. You should use provided scope for libraries which are available in Jira. In this case these packages will not be packed in your jar and your plugin will use them from Jira.

[Yiraphic __ Peeters]

After changing my versions around and removing the sal dependency and making a few changes in my code I eventually got it working. Thank you!
