JIRA REST API - Updating Status

You can change a status with executing the transition.

• You should give the transition id. "{transition\": {\"id\": \"61\"}"
• The url should be :  "http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/TAI-39/transitions?expand=transitions.fields" SElect the issue that you want to update.
• You shoul use "POST"
• Here is the curl command: curl -D- -X POST -H "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46SDF0MXQ=" --data "{\"transition\": {\"id\": \"81\"}}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/TAI-39/transitions?expand=transitions.fields"
• Here is the java implementation:          
                                                               

public static String httpGet() throws IOException {         

URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/TAI-39/transitions?expand=transitions.fields");         

HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();  

conn.setDoOutput(true);         

conn.setDoInput(true);                 

String credentials = "username" + ":" + "password";        

 String encoding = Base64Converter.encode(credentials.getBytes("UTF-8"));   

conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", String.format("Basic %s", encoding));  

conn.setRequestMethod("POST"); 

conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");    

  conn.connect();                  

 String st = "{\"transition\": {\"id\": \"91\"}}";    

 System.out.println(st);      

  byte[] outputBytes = st.getBytes("UTF-8");     

 OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();  

BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));        

 StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();        

 String line;         

while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {           

sb.append(line);         

}         

rd.close();             

conn.disconnect();        

System.out.println("sb: "+ sb.toString());         

return sb.toString();     

}
