Cannot deserialize IssueField coming from webhook event

January 22, 2018

 

I created a JIRA bug and sent the subsequent generated event to a SpringBoot a via webhook. That works so far. In the SpringBoot app I tried to deserialize the received JSON. To achieve this I have an IssueEvent class which has an Issue field:

package my.package.domain.jira.entity;

import java.io.Serializable;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.domain.ChangelogGroup;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.domain.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.domain.User;

/**
 * RootObject JSON
 *
 */
public class IssueEvent implements Serializable {
 /**
 * 
 */
 private static final long serialVersionUID = 4467263405878138432L;
 
 private Long timestamp;
 private String webhookEvent;
 @JsonProperty("issue_event_type_name")
 private String issueEventTypeName;
 private User user;
 private Issue issue;
// private Changelog changelog;
 private ChangelogGroup changelog;
...
}

Here's the JSON generated by JIRA when creating a bug/issue:

Since the JIRA classes don't have a prameterless default constructors I tried to use Mixins. It works well for the User but seems not for Issue class:

package my.package.domain.jira.util;

}

 This Mixin matches exactly the constructor of class Issue from package com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.domain.

I get the following Exception:

It seems as if the JSON generated from JIRA does not its own class Issue. 

How can I solve this problem?

Try to use com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.internal.json.IssueJsonParser from atlassian-jira-rest-java-client

Something like:

private Issue parseIssue(final String resourcePath) throws JSONException {   
    final JSONObject issueJson = ResourceUtil.getJsonObjectFromResource(resourcePath);   
    final IssueJsonParser parser = new IssueJsonParser();   
    return parser.parse(issueJson);  
}

Okay...I see that I don't need ResourceUtil.getJsonObjectFromResource because I do already have it because the JSON comes as parameter...
Is the JSONObject still available in Atlassian JIRA 7.1.6?

I am using JIRA 7.1.6. 
I found out that the IssueEvent class is in jira-api but when I use this dependency in my POM the build fails with an exception that dependency jta 1.0.1 cannot be found...and it doesn't work when I put the jta dependency in my POM a well.
