How to call a java function on click of web item

[Michael Tan]

Hi, I am working on building a jira plugin. I have created a web-item on the issue page, and I want to call a java function located in my plugin package when I click on the web-item. How can I accomplish this?

I have seen this post on call java function on add comment button.

However, I am not sure where to write the event listener.

Hello @Michael_Tan

I can think of two ways to do this. 

If your web-item displays content in a glance, you can set the trigger on render (when the glance is open). If it renders a button or something a like, you can trigger directly from you button code
