Use JNDI connection with Groovy in Service Desk workflow

[ION Information Systems]

Hi,

I have a groovy script in the post function of the Create transition that connects to an external DB through JNDI using the below code.

import javax.naming.Context
import javax.naming.InitialContext
import javax.sql.DataSource
...
37> Context initContext = new InitialContext()
38> Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env")
39> DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/MyDS")
....

It works perfectly if I create the issue using the normal JIRA interface.

But it gives me the below error when I create the issue from the Service Desk interface

...
/servicedesk/customer/portal/14/create/167 [scriptrunner.jira.workflow.ScriptWorkflowFunction] Script function failed on issue: PROJ-xyz, actionId: 1, file: 
/usr/local/jira/scripts/myscript.groovy

Is this a compatibility issue between the Script Runner and Service Desk?

Thanks

JIRA 6.3.10, SD 2.3.3, Script Runner 3.0.9

I thought it was the SD given that if I open the issue through the normal interface the script works.

I use the same code in many other groovy scripts that I run in other workflows, and all of them works, the only difference here is the SD... !!

What do you think it can be the reason?

That code throws the same error when run through the script console, so although service desk seems to often cause problems, I don't see it's the cause this time.

What version of JIRA is it?
