Method Detail

isWatching

boolean isWatching(User user,
                   org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue issue)

Determine whether the current user is already watching the issue or not

Parameters:

user - user

issue - issue being watched

Returns:

True if a user is watching the issue specified.

getCurrentWatchList

Collection getCurrentWatchList(Locale userLocale,
                               org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue issue)

Retrieve collection of users that are currently watching this issue (including the current user)

Parameters:

userLocale - the locale of the user making this call, this is used for sorting the list values.

issue - issue being watched

Returns:

A collection of Users

getCurrentWatcherUsernames

List getCurrentWatcherUsernames(org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue issue)
                                throws DataAccessException

Retrieve the list of usernames of users watching the given issue

Parameters:

issue - issue being watched

Returns:

the list of usernames of users watching the given issue

Throws:

DataAccessException - if cannot retrieve watchers

startWatching

void startWatching(User user,
                   org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue issue)

Enable watching of a particular issue for the user supplied. This means the user will retrieve updates for any modifications to the issue. Note, that this will not check if a user has the BROWSE_ISSUE permission. Notifications will however only be sent to users who have the appropriate permissions. Adding a permission check here would complicate updating permission schemes a lot, as it would have to update issue's watchers lists.

Parameters:

user - user that starts watching the given issue

issue - issue being watched

stopWatching

void stopWatching(User user,
                  org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue issue)

Disable watching of a particular issue for the user supplied.

Parameters:

user - user that stops watching the given issue

issue - issue being watched

stopWatching

void stopWatching(String username,
                  org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue issue)

Disable watching of a particular issue for the user supplied.

Note: Use this method in case when user no longer exists in JIRA, e.g. JIRA uses external user management and user was removed externally.

Parameters:

username - username of the user that stops watching the given issue

issue - issue being watched

removeAllWatchesForUser

void removeAllWatchesForUser(User user)

Remove all watches for a given user

Parameters:

user - The user that has most probably been deleted
