How to open/access/render the IssueCRUD Servlet through a Web-Item inside a Project Template module?

[Dhruv Dixit]

I have been trying to access/render the IssueCRUD servlet through a Web-Item module inside a Project Template created using Atlasssian SDK but it is showing the 404 error i.e. "Oops, you've found a dead link". Has anyone tried doing so?

Here is a part of "atlassian-plugin.xml" containing the web-item and the servlet:

<web-item name="project-web-item" i18n-name-key="project--web--item.name" key="project--web--item" section="jira.project.sidebar.plugins.navigation" weight="300">
<description key="project--web--item.description">The project-web-item Plugin</description>
<label key="project--web--item.label"/>
<link linkId="project--web--item-link">/plugins/servlet/issuecrud</link>
<param name="iconClass" value="aui-icon-large icon-sidebar-release"/>
</web-item>

<servlet name="Issue CRUD" i18n-name-key="issue-crud.name" key="issue-crud" class="com.example.plugins.tutorial.servlet.IssueCRUD">
<description key="issue-crud.description">The Issue CRUD Plugin</description>
<url-pattern>/issuecrud</url-pattern>
</servlet>

SOLVED: I was not importing the resources for the IssueCRUD servlet inside the project template plugin. There were some js, css, META-INF files which needed to be copied into the resources folder inside the project template plugin.

Hi,

A novice question. I've implemented a modified servlet that replaces the IssueCRUD. Just listing the issue.

Now the question is:

I have a web-item link in the Project view. And I added a web-panel (just simple page). I would like to display the output of the servlet in that web panel. How do I do that?

The plugin xml below allows me to press on the link (web item) and get the issues in a new screen. But I would like:

a. Forward the project name to the servlet

b. Display its output in the web panel - or whatever it is on the right side of the link

Here is my XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<atlassian-plugin key="${atlassian.plugin.key}" name="${project.name}" plugins-version="2"> 
  <plugin-info> 
    <description>${project.description}</description>

    <vendor name="${project.organization.name}" url="${project.organization.url}"/>  
    <param name="plugin-icon">images/pluginIcon.png</param>  
    <param name="plugin-logo">images/pluginLogo.png</param>
  </plugin-info>
