Is there a java api to access bugzilla?

Question

Is there a (standalone!) java api which wraps the XML-RPC interface to bugzilla? I don't want to program my own api for it, and I can't actually find a library which does this (and only this).

Update:

I'm looking for something like this http://oss.dbc.dk/bugzproxy/ only written in Java

Answer 1

The library/API is called JAX-WS (or JAXB), and lets you call WS of any nature. Get the schema, generate the beans and proxies, call them.

Answer 2

There's Apache WS XML-RPC (now that's a mouthful!) which is a full XML-RPC implementation that you could use. I don't know BugZilla that well but assuming it supports XML-RPC, there shouldn't be any issues using the monstrous mouthful I just linked.

Answer 3

There is also Mylyn which is supposed to run stand-alone outside Eclipse. However, I did not manage yet to have it stand-alone. You can give a try to my own Bugzilla Java API which tries to cover the most urgent needs: http://techblog.ralph-schuster.eu/b4j-bugzilla-for-java/

Answer 4

Here's a simple example for using bugzilla api with Java.. http://codehelpline.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-access-bugzilla-webservice-api.html
