Jira Plugin - velocity templates not rendered

[VS]

Hi,

I am trying to create a Jira plugin. I have started from the archetype atlassian-connect-spring-boot-archetype.

The logs show that the request is resolved from test-connect-edit to connect-edit and then the flow reaches the controller. But after the controller, /edit is requested which is not resolved to the velocity template.

I have tried the following:

1. Added the velocity and velocity-tools dependency in the pom.xml, got the same error
2. Tried using the atlassian TemplateRenderer class, but somehow not able to resolve the dependencies needed. Was not able to compile the code

Following are the details of the setup:

Template placed at /resources/templates/edit.vm 

atlassian-connect.json entry

{
"name": { "value": "Edit" },
"key": "test-connect-edit",
"url": "/connect-edit",
"conditions": [{
"condition": "user_is_logged_in"
}],
"location": "system.top.navigation.bar"
}

The Controller:

@RequestMapping(value = "/connect-edit", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String getEditPage(@AuthenticationPrincipal AtlassianHostUser hostUser, Model model, HttpServletResponse response) {
addValueAttributeToModel(hostUser, model);
return "edit";

}

Following is the generated log:

[VS · Accepted solution]

Adding this here for completeness:

Spring-boot has officially deprecated the support for Velocity.

As this was a new development, I have incorporated Thymeleaf.

Thanks for the update @VS ! 

I have accepted your answer to this topic so that this question is now marked as resolved :)

Hi @VS ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am not sure if it can be of any help, but you may want to review the below developers blog post:

• So, you want to create an Atlassian Connect add-on in Java?

However, please notice that this is not the best place to get support on development related issues. 

As mentioned in https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-connect-spring-boot/src/master/ :

Getting help

If you need help using Spring Boot, see the Getting help section of the Spring Boot Reference Guide.

If you need help developing against Atlassian products, see the Atlassian Developer site.

If you need help using functionality provided by atlassian-connect-spring-boot, please ask in the Atlassian Developer Community.

If you want to report a problem, please raise a support request in Atlassian Ecosystem's Developer Service Desk.

So, in case the provided link does not help, you may want to ask this same question in the Atlassian Developer Community.

Cheers,
Dario

[VS]

Thanks @Dario B . Will move the discussion to the dev community.

[Dario B]

You are very welcome @VS   

However, before posting the question in there first search if anything similar has already been asked by someone else since there are chances similar topics have already been discussed.

Have a nice weekend!
