Unable to attach file to issue in jira via rest api Java

I want to attach multiple files to issue. I'm able to create issue successfully however i am facing problem in attaching documents after creating issue. I have referred to this link SOLVED: attach a file using REST from scriptrunner
I am getting 404 error even though issue exists and also user has all the permissions.
File fileToUpload = new File("D:\\dummy.txt");
InputStream in = null;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(fileToUpload);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
HttpResponse < String > response3 = Unirest
.post("https://.../rest/api/2/issue/test-85/attachments")
.basicAuth(username, password).field("file", in , "dummy.txt")
.asString();
System.out.println(response3.getStatus());
here test-85 is a issueKey value.
And i am using open-unirest-java-3.3.06.jar. Is the way i am attaching documents is correct?

I am not sure how open-unirest manages its fields, maybe it tries to put them as json field, rather than post content.
I've been using Rcarz's Jira client. It's a little bit outdated but it still works.
Maybe looking at its code will help you, or you can just use it directly.
The Issue class:
public JSON addAttachment(File file) throws JiraException {
try {
return restclient.post(getRestUri(key) + "/attachments", file);
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw new JiraException("Failed add attachment to issue " + key, ex);
}
}
And in RestClient class:
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase;
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity;
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.FileBody;
public JSON post(String path, File file) throws RestException, IOException, URISyntaxException {
return request(new HttpPost(buildURI(path)), file);
}
private JSON request(HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase req, File file) throws RestException, IOException {
if (file != null) {
File fileUpload = file;
req.setHeader("X-Atlassian-Token", "nocheck");
MultipartEntity ent = new MultipartEntity();
ent.addPart("file", new FileBody(fileUpload));
req.setEntity(ent);
}
return request(req);
}
So I'm not sure why you're getting a 404, Jira is sometime fuzzy and not really clear about its error, try printing the full error, or checking Jira's log if you can. Maybe it's just the "X-Atlassian-Token", "nocheck", try adding it.

Can not read file when run within jar file

I have an akka http service. I simply return the api documentation for a get request. The documentation is in html file.
It all works fine when run within the IDE. When I package it as a jar I get error 'resource not found'. I am not sure why it can not read the html file when hosted in a jar and works fine when in IDE.
Here is the code for the route.
private Route topLevelRoute() {
return pathEndOrSingleSlash(() -> getFromResource("asciidoc/html/api.html"));
}
The files are located in resource path.

I have got this working now.
I am doing this.
private Route topLevelRoute() {
try {
InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/asciidoc/html/api.html"));
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
//Get the stream input into string builder
reader.lines().forEach(s -> strBuild.append(s));
inputStreamReader.close();
bufferedReader.close();
//pass the string builder as string with contenttype set to html
complete(HttpEntities.create(ContentTypes.TEXT_HTML_UTF8, strBuild.toString()))
} catch (Exception ex) {
//Catch any exception here
}
}

Code runs on localhost not on app server

I am developing a code for xcel generation and download using apache poi. LocalHost server and app server is jboss. When i run the code on localhost, a temp folder is generated in jboss's deployment folder and in that the xcel is generated and then downloaded through frontend. I am using java spring angularjs and html. This runs fine on localhost but after deploying on app server the xcel is not downloaded and it gives 500:internal server error.
angularjs controller code:
$scope.generateExcel=function(sDate,eDate,doc,search)
{
console.log("hello");
var sDate = document.getElementById('sD').value
var eDate = document.getElementById('eD').value
$scope.obj.sDate = sDate;
$scope.obj.eDate = eDate;
$scope.obj.iou = doc;
$scope.obj.du = search;
console.log($scope.obj);
$http.post('abc/generateExcel',$scope.obj).then(function()
{
//console.log(path);
$window.location.href="/ProjectName/file_name.xls";
})
.error(function()
{
console.log("Error!!");
});
};
java code:
//Method
public HttpServletResponse generateExcel ( HttpServletRequest request , HttpServletResponse response, String sD, String eD, String doc, String search)
{
//EXCEL GENERATION HERE
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=filename.xls");
//Path Specification
String path = request.getRealPath("/file_name.xls");
//System.out.println("Here...");
System.out.println(path);
FileOutputStream fileOut2 = new FileOutputStream(path);
workbook.write(fileOut2);
/*returning response*/
}

It's difficult to answer this unless one knows what's the error you are getting on the server side. Put your server code in a try-catch block. Rerun the code, and check the server logs. Paste them here.
try{
String path = request.getRealPath("/file_name.xls");
//System.out.println("Here...");
System.out.println(path);
FileOutputStream fileOut2 = new FileOutputStream(path);
workbook.write(fileOut2);
} catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace(); // this should print some error in server logs
}

Javamail - Why can't I get it to work?

I stole this code to test about emailing using java. Javamail is required, obviously. For some reason, I can't get javax.mail to implement. I downloaded the most recent javamail and put them in the jdk and jre lib folders, yet nothing changes. Please and thank you!
//A class which uses this file to send an email :

*/
public final class Emailer {
public static void main( String... aArguments ){
Emailer emailer = new Emailer();
//the domains of these email addresses should be valid,
//or the example will fail:
emailer.sendEmail(
"sean_chili#yahoo.com", "clevelanm#sou.edu",
"Testing 1-2-3", "blah blah blah"
);
}

String aSubject, String aBody
){
//Here, no Authenticator argument is used (it is null).
//Authenticators are used to prompt the user for user
//name and password.
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( fMailServerConfig, null );
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage( session );
try {

}
catch (MessagingException ex){
System.err.println("Cannot send email. " + ex);
}
}

public static void refreshConfig() {
fMailServerConfig.clear();

}

}

* parameters, and populate a corresponding Properties object.
*/
private static void fetchConfig() {
InputStream input = null;
try {
//If possible, one should try to avoid hard-coding a path in this
//manner; in a web application, one should place such a file in
//WEB-INF, and access it using ServletContext.getResourceAsStream.
//Another alternative is Class.getResourceAsStream.
//This file contains the javax.mail config properties mentioned above.
input = new FileInputStream( "C:\\Temp\\MyMailServer.txt" );
fMailServerConfig.load( input );
}
catch ( IOException ex ){
System.err.println("Cannot open and load mail server properties file.");
}
finally {
try {
if ( input != null ) input.close();
}
catch ( IOException ex ){
System.err.println( "Cannot close mail server properties file." );
}
}
}
}

Just for completeness, here's the answer.
Your Eclipse is telling you
<Some Class> cannot be resolved to a type
This is usually an indication that your classpath is not correct. You said
I downloaded the most recent javamail and put them in the jdk and jre
lib folders, yet nothing changes
Don't do this. Take the javamail.jar and use it on your application Build Path. To do so, drag and drop the jar into your project, right-click it and select Build Path > Add to build path.

Apache Commons FTPClient.listFiles

I am using org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient in one of my applications to work with a FTP server. I am able to connect, login, pwd and cwd. However, when I try to list the files it doesn't return the list of files in that directory, where I know for sure that there are files. I am using the method FTPFile[] listFiles(), it returns an empty array of FTPFile.
Please find below the code snippet where I am trying this:
String hostname = properties.getProperty("FTP_SERVER");
String user = properties.getProperty("FTP_USER");
String passwd = properties.getProperty("FTP_PASSWD");
FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
client.connect(hostname);
client.login(user, passwd);
String reply = client.getStatus();
System.out.println(reply);
client.enterRemotePassiveMode();
client.changeWorkingDirectory("/uploads");
FTPFile[] files = client.listFiles();
System.out.println(files.length);
for (FTPFile file : files) {
System.out.println(file.getName());
}
String[] fileNames = client.listNames();
if (fileNames != null) {
for (String file : fileNames) {
System.out.println(file);
}
}
client.disconnect();

This seems like the same issue I had (and solved), see this answer:
Apache Commons Net FTPClient and listFiles()

After I set the mode as PASV it is working fine now!
Thanks for all your efforts and suggestions!

I added client.enterLocalPassiveMode() and it works:
client.connect("xxx.com");
boolean login = client.login("xxx", "xxx");
client.enterLocalPassiveMode();

Just a silly suggestion... can you do a listing on the /uploads folder using a normal FTP client. I ask this because some FTP servers are setup to not display the listing of an upload folder.

First, make sure the listing works in other programs. If so, one possibility is that the file listing isn't being parsed correctly. You can try explicitly specifying the parser to use with initiateListParsing.

I had to same problem and it turned out to be that it couldn't parse what the server was returning for a file listing. I this line after connecting to the ftp server ftpClient.setParserFactory(new MyFTPFileEntryParserFactory());
public class MyFTPFileEntryParserFactory implements FTPFileEntryParserFactory {
private final static FTPFileEntryParser parser = new UnixFTPEntryParser() {
#Override public FTPFile parseFTPEntry(String entry) {
FTPFile ftpFile = new FTPFile();
ftpFile.setTimestamp(getCalendar(entry));
ftpFile.setSize(get(entry));
ftpFile.setName(getName(entry));
return ftpFile;
}
};
#Override public FTPFileEntryParser createFileEntryParser(FTPClientConfig config) throws ParserInitializationException {
return parser;
}
#Override public FTPFileEntryParser createFileEntryParser(String key) throws ParserInitializationException {
return parser;
}
}

In my case, on top of applying enterLocalPassiveMode and indicating correct operation system, I also need to set UnparseableEntries to true to make the listFile method work.
FTPClientConfig conf = new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_UNIX);
conf.setUnparseableEntries(true);
f.configure(conf);
boolean isLoginSuccess = client.login(username, password);
