JSONException when retrieving issue with JRJC

[Bernd Adamowicz]

I try to retrieve an existing issue from Jira using Java Rest Client version 2.0.0-m2. That's the code:

104         IssueRestClient issueClient = null;
105         Issue issue = null;
106         Promise<Issue> promise = null;
107
108         try {
109             issueClient = getJiraClient().getIssueClient();
110             promise = issueClient.getIssue(issueId);
111             issue = promise.claim();
112             // issue = promise.get();

Method getJiraClient() returns a ready to use object which is initialized like this:

53         URI uri = null;
 54         JiraRestClientFactory factory = null;
 55
 56         try {
 57
 58             uri = new URI(getJiraUrl());
 59             LOG.debug("Trying to access " + uri);
 60
 61             factory = new AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory();
 62             jiraClient = factory.createWithBasicHttpAuthentication(uri, getUser(), getPassword());
 63             setJiraClient(jiraClient);
 64             LOG.debug("Initialized Jira client " + getJiraClient());

However, while executing the first code snippet I get this JSONException in line 111 or 112 depending on what I use:

Caused by: com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.RestClientException: org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONException: A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 0 of

I didn't find an existing bug or any other questions here pointing to a solution. So any help is appreciated.

OK. Actually this was an authentication error from Jira to our SSO infrastructure. :-( The exception was a little misleading in this case. However, my code seems correct.

Hi @Bernd Adamowicz ! I'm having the same issue. Were you able to find out the cause of the authentication error from Jira to your SSO infrastructure?

No, sorry. Ceased working on this issue many years ago.
