Problem with Eclipse connector

[Frédéric Cilia]

There is no compliant JSON parser for multicascadeselect, its a problem for other plugin using it like Eclipse Connector. Can you implement JSON like cascadingselect to use the official parser ?

Problem solved with an extended type :

/**

package com.sourcesense.jira.plugin.customfield.type;

import java.util.List;

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.rest.json.beans.CustomFieldOptionJsonBean;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.rest.json.beans.JiraBaseUrls;
import com.sourcesense.jira.plugin.util.LicenseUtils;
import com.sourcesense.jira.plugin.customfield.util.MultiLevelCascadingSelectOptionUtils;

public class MultiLevelCascadingSelectCFTypeExtend extends MultiLevelCascadingSelectCFType {

    private final JiraBaseUrls jiraBaseUrls;

    public MultiLevelCascadingSelectCFTypeExtend(OptionsManager optionsManager, CustomFieldValuePersister customFieldValuePersister, GenericConfigManager genericConfigManager, JiraBaseUrls jiraBaseUrls, MultiLevelCascadingSelectOptionUtils optionUtils,
        LicenseUtils licenseUtils) {
        super(optionsManager, customFieldValuePersister, genericConfigManager, jiraBaseUrls, optionUtils, licenseUtils);
        this.jiraBaseUrls = jiraBaseUrls;
    }

    @Override
    public JsonType getJsonSchema(CustomField customField) {
        return JsonTypeBuilder.customArray(JsonType.STRING_TYPE, "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:cascadingselect", customField.getIdAsLong());
    }

    @Override
    public FieldJsonRepresentation getJsonFromIssue(CustomField customField, Issue issue, boolean renderedVersionRequested, FieldLayoutItem fieldLayoutItem) {
        List<Option> options = getValueFromIssue(customField, issue);
        if ((options == null) || (options.size() == 0)) {
            return new FieldJsonRepresentation(new JsonData(null));
        }
        CustomFieldOptionJsonBean child = null;
        CustomFieldOptionJsonBean fullBean = null;
        if (options.size() >= 2) {
            for (int i = options.size(); i > 0; i--) {
                Option option = options.get(i - 1);
                CustomFieldOptionJsonBean current = CustomFieldOptionJsonBean.shortBean(option, this.jiraBaseUrls);
                if (child != null) {
                    current.setChild(child);
                }
                if (i == 1) {
                    fullBean = current;
                } else {
                    child = current;
                }
            }
        } else if (options.size() == 1) {
            Option option = options.get(0);
            fullBean = CustomFieldOptionJsonBean.shortBean(option, this.jiraBaseUrls);
        }
        JsonData jsonData = new JsonData(fullBean);
        return new FieldJsonRepresentation(jsonData);
    }

}

With this solution, JSON file is hierarchical and we force eclipse connector to use CascadingSelect Jira parser for JSON.

JSON format with MultiLevelCascadingSelectCFType :

customfield_10600": [

    {
        "self": "https://XXX/jira/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/114400",
        "value": "[IT2] BDD / Databases",
        "id": "114400",
        "children": [ … ]
    },
    {
        "self": "https://XXX/jira/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/114413",
        "value": "ORACLE",
        "id": "114413",
        "children": [ … ]
    },
    {
        "self": "https://XXX/jira/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/115209",
        "value": "DATABASE : DUMP / LOAD FROM DISK",
        "id": "115209"
    }

]

JSON format with MultiLevelCascadingSelectCFTypeExtend :

"customfield_10600": {

    "self": "https://XXX/jira/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/114400",
    "value": "[IT2] BDD / Databases",
    "id": "114400",
    "child": {
        "self": "https://XXX/jira/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/114413",
        "value": "ORACLE",
        "id": "114413",
        "child": {
            "self": "https://XXX/jira/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/115208",
            "value": "PERFORMANCE ISSUE",
            "id": "115208"
        },
        "children": [ … ]
    },
    "children": [ … ]

}

Today we are using version 2.5 of this plugin and we wish to migrate to the new version 3.0.1 and to JIRA 6.1

Can you integrate a similar correction to your new version ?

Thanks
