module type

[jacob delddd]

I want to make a plugin that can read sprints, and display processed data. What modules should i use? I tried servlet, but it brings me to a new window (not inside jira). I tried a webpanel, but this doesn't let me create a new webpage. 

Thanks in advance

Hello,

It depends where you want to show your data. If you want to show them in an issue, then you need a web panel. If you want to have a different window, then you should write a servlet. Servlet is executed inside Jira, you just need to put the correct decorator in the vm or soy template.

Or maybe consider using WebItem + Webwork if you want to display a link in the users menu.

Would i be able to change/adjust the calculated data manually in a servlet window (i don't want to change the actual sprint)? And than let's say save it?

[Alexey Matveev]

What kind of calculated data?

Basically, you will be able to do everything, what Jira Java Api lets you do.

So the sprint data will be collected with the URI (java api), and then i hope to procces it into a database. And afterwards i would like to edit the data in the database, but i'm wondering if that would be possible in a servlet? 

[Alexey Matveev]

Yes, it is possible. Servlet is executed in the same Jira Context (inside Jira). It is not executed outside Jira. 

[Alexey Matveev]

Inside a servlet you can use Jira Java Api. No need for Rest Api or something like this.

You are welcome!

I can't seem to find any information to use Jira Java Api, would there be issues if i use Rest Api? 

[Alexey Matveev]

It is difficult to find info on Jira Software Java Api. You can read my article here:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Agile-articles/How-to-use-Jira-Software-functionality-in-a-Jira-plugin/ba-p/779854

Or you can use Jira Software Rest Api.
