-------------------------------------------
Summary: Confluence Authority does not handle Confluence API errors
Key: CONNECTORS-1616
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1616
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Confluence connector
Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.12
Reporter: Julien Massiera
The Confluence Authority ask spaces permissions for each space returned by the
getSpaces() method of the ConfluenceClient class.
The concerned method getSpacePermissionsForUser(Space space, String username)
sends a request to Confluence and triggers a ConfluenceException if the request
response is different from 200, otherwise it parses the response as a JSONArray
to get the permissions.
The problem is that even with a 200 request response code, the content of the
response may be a simple JSONObject that explains an internal Confluence error.
It happens frequently when the username is not allowed to get permissions on
certain spaces :
{code:java}
{
"id": null,
"error": {
"code": 500,
"message": "The application was unable to serve your request:
com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.NotPermittedException: Only space administrators
can view permissions for other users in the space.",
"data": "com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.NotPermittedException: Only space
administrators can view permissions for other users in the
space.\ncom.atlassian.confluence.rpc.NotPermittedException: Only space
administrators can view permissions for other users in the space.\n\tat
com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.soap.services.SpacesSoapService.getPermissions(SpacesSoapService.java:188)\n\tat
com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.soap.XhtmlSoapService.getPermissionsForUser(XhtmlSoapService.java:226)\n\tat
sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor3812.invoke(Unknown Source)\n\tat
sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)\n\tat
java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)\n\tat"
}
}
{code}
As a username will almost never have the rights to get permissions on ALL
spaces, it is problematic because the response parsing process triggers an
Exception and so the Confluence Authority response is
UNREACHABLEAUTHORITY:confluence, instead of delivering permissions for allowed
spaces.
