Grails and Jira Integration using RESTClient - grails

Question

I am using groovy http-builder and using RestClient for accessing web service from JIRA.
In development mode it's working fine but when I deploy war on Tomcat server it throws exception as
"org.apache.commons.collections.map.ListOrderedMap: method ()V
not found. Stacktrace follows:
org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet.mvc.exceptions.ControllerExecutionException:

path: 'search',
body: [jql: "project=XYZ AND (status=Open OR status='In Progress') AND issuetype!=Epic AND issuetype!='Technical task'", startAt: offset, maxResults: params.max, fields: ['summary', 'description','issuetype']])
How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

I am added these dependencies in Build Config
compile 'com.atlassian.jira:jira-rest-java-client-api:2.0.0-m25'
compile 'com.atlassian.jira:jira-rest-java-client-core:2.0.0-m25'
and using
AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory factory = new AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory()
def jiraServerUri = URI.create("ipaddress")
JiraRestClient restClient = factory.createWithBasicHttpAuthentication(jiraServerUri, "username", "password")
for authentication and getting RestClient object

Using JIRA REST Client for JAVA in Grails application is not necessary, though it might have resolved your issue. I faced the same issue and was able to create a JIRA REST client with Groovy HTTP Builder.
The only dependency that I added in BuildConfig.groovy was:
dependencies {
compile("org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder:http-builder:0.5.0-RC1") {
excludes 'groovy', 'xml-apis' } }
Then build your JSON query and post your request:
jiraClient.post(requestContentType: JSON, body: query)
