Thanks,

after creating project, i am using following jelly tag to set permission scheme through jelly script runner

<jira:SelectProjectScheme projectKey="JIRA" permission-scheme="JIRA Permission Scheme"/>

Maybe this helps? https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/Unable+to+access+a+project+Permission+Scheme+configuration+due+to+NullPointerException

Hi there,

When creating a project via SOAP, you need to provide a permission scheme and you can't simply send a string. It needs to be a {{remotePermissionScheme}} object because when that gets converted to the SOAP XML format in the request it will look different than just a string and that's what JIRA expects.

For example:

final RemotePermissionScheme permissionScheme = new RemotePermissionScheme();

            permissionScheme.setId(0L);

            final RemoteProject project = soapy.createProject(token, "TESTD", "Test Proj D", "", "", "contour", permissionScheme, null, null);

The above will work while the below wont:

final RemoteProject project = soapy.createProject(token, "TESTD", "Test Proj D", "", "", "contour", null, null, null);

The permissionScheme can't be a string, it needs to be a permissionScheme SOAP object with the id of the permission scheme filled in.

Cheers,

Pedro

Thanks for your response!

Actually i created project through post function not through SOAP

following code i am using to set permission scheme

UpdateProjectSchemesValidationResult schemesResult = projectService.validateUpdateProjectSchemes(loggedInUser,permissionSchemeId,notificationSchemeId,issueSecuritySchemeId);	
errors.addErrorCollection(schemesResult.getErrorCollection());	
if (!errors.hasAnyErrors()) {
// adding schemes to Project	
projectService.updateProjectSchemes(schemesResult, newProject);
}

Don't mind me saying this, it looks terribly odd trying to create projects in post functions :(

Can you give a bit more details into the usecase (while I accept that I am not solving your problem by asking this)?

[RambanamP]

@Renjith,

we are getting number of requests to create new projects based on existing project so i created post function to create project and copy all the configurations from the base project. all the configurations are copied as expected and i am facing the problem while copying permission scheme.

some times it is copying from base project and some times it is not and it is setting null, when i am trying to change null value to some other schem getting the NPE

Have you gotten this issue resolved? I am in the same situation.

[Radu Dumitriu]

So, you created a project via Jira API. Obviously something is missing there. Where do you have that NPE ? Can you post the stack trace ? Otherwise, I'm not sure that you will get an answer right away.

[RambanamP]

any help on this?
