API Requests in confluence fail: "NoSuchMethodError"

[knaflitsch]

When we try to use API URLs for creating XMLs or JSONs, they all fail. The only working are are Dump graphs as XML or TXT or getting Images. Trying to generate anything different or a JSON will cause a system Error.

• Working URLs

"...monitoring?graph=usedMemory&period=jour&format=xml" "...monitoring?graph=usedMemory&width=960&height=400&period=jour"

• Non-Working URLs "...monitoring?format=xml&part=counterSummaryPerClass&counter=guice&period=jour" etc.

The exception is the following:

`Cause javax.servlet.ServletException: Während der Filter Bearbeitung trat eine Exception auf at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:200)

Is there any chance to fix this? Or what might be the cause of that?

[evernat]

I do not reproduce the issue. The error is strange (this xstream method is not supposed to disappear from the xstream jar file of Confluence). Which version of Confluence do you use?

[knaflitsch]

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

We are using 7.4.6 (PROD_NODE1: 377596e4)

[evernat]

Sorry, I don't remember what I tested before, but I was really wrong. XML and JSON does not work in Confluence and has never worked in Confluence using the javamelody plugin, except for the XML of the graphs. And I reproduce this issue. It works in JIRA and in Bamboo and could work in Bitbucket, but not in Confluence.

That's because, Confluence contains a version 1.1.1 of XStream of year 2005 (confluence/WEB-INF/lib/xstream-1.1.1.jar) unlike JIRA and Bamboo. And the javamelody plugin for JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo, Bitbucket is not compatible with that very old version of XStream packaged in Confluence.

[evernat]

Given that you are the first to complain of that since seven years, this will probably not be fixed in the plugin, except if Atlassian upgrades the version of xstream in Confluence eventually.

I will move this issue to the javamelody plugin repo at: https://github.com/javamelody/jira-confluence-javamelody/issues

[knaflitsch]

Thanks for the Update. Sad to hear, anyway we are trying to use now Java Monitoring for SCOM. Maybe this will help us to better monitor it and integrate the data and alerts in other systems.
