Needing some Java help

[13lack13lade]

Hey Guys,

So i've just implemented Jira at my work and was given the task of being system administrator and configuring everything which is good experience for me for coding somethign other than autoit/basic however i know nothing about java.

Would anyone be able to help me by adding that if the custom_field in this code is less than 0 , so a minus number to then change the value to 0? i also have more code to exclude weekends and only account for workdays but im not sure how to incorporate that either, if i paste that code too can anyone help me with that also if its not too much trouble.

<!-- @@Formula: 
if (issue.get("resolutiondate") == null || issue.get("customfield_10007")==null)
  return null;
return (issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10007").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24);
 -->

Also would anyone happen to have some good sites to help me learn some very basic java... i know theres nothing like this forum for any other language but any sort of materials to help me would be great, i am a complete noobie too it and i cant seem to get it right

I went from AutoIt to C# and then started with Java in January. It's not such a huge learning as there is StackOverflow and multiple tutorial sites across the Internet, more than AutoIt that's for sure.

As for your problem, one can only assume that the object reference called issue has getters and setters in the class file it's referencing.

if (issue.get("customfield_10007") < 0) {
    issue.get("customfield_10007").setTime(0);
}

You might also want to warn your boss that you don't know Java at this stage, as System Admin is a huge responsibility, so not knowing the basics of OOP let alone Java, will soon show. Also if you're going to post Java code here all the time, then the question I will ask for sure is, are you learning Java or relying on us to secure you job?

There is not a large amount of java needed at all for the set up of jira.. i have managed to set the entire thing up from scratch and they are aware of my abilities.

The only things java is required for are ideas that are out of the business scope of the project that iv'e thought of to make a bigger impact on roll out.

This is my first java question ? and i am a script writer advanced in VBA and am now quite familiar with autoit and have used it on a few projects at my work.

They would rather i set up Jira and ask for help because im good at researching rather than paying the company $250-500 per hour which is what service rocket charge to setup etc.

This project is only with me until roll out then will be handed over to systems support i have a software development diploma in C#, SQL etc.. i just get intimidated by new languages they always seem harder than they actually are to wrap your head around.

Normally i am more of a database administrator this is my first attempt at a project like this, i am moving towards project management / system development... career path has to start somewhere i just decided to start in the deep end so far so good! i do appreciate your help though guinness as well as your concern, this is not my role infact the entire project was handed to me as an opportunity to act as a Business Analyst, i am a data analyst / automation specialist by trade.

If you have a diploma in C#, then Java is a breeze albeit you will miss a few things like var and creating indexers. Check out dotnetperls.com about Java.

hmm so i got everything working but now im having abit of trouble with nested if statements.. i thought this was correct but its not working, i even put it into JSLint and it didnt manage to show me any errors -.-

Its always the friggin if statements that get me, What have i done wrong here? happy to fix the code myself if anyone can help hint me in the right direction.. i looked on dotnetperls at if statements and a few other places but to me it seems right but then again, im no expert

<!-- @@Formula:
If (issue.issueTypeObject.name == "Specials")
{
if (issue.get("resolutiondate") == null || issue.get("customfield_10007")==null){
  return null;
}
else if ((issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10007").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24) <1){
   return 0;
} else {
return (issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10007").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24)
}
}
Else
{
if (issue.get("resolutiondate") == null || issue.get("customfield_10002")==null){
return null;
}
else if ((issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10002").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24) <1){
return 0;
} Else {
return (issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10002").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24);
}
}   
-->

What im trying to do is join two bits of code together with the condition : If (issue.issueTypeObject.name == "Specials")

if so do this:

<!-- @@Formula:
if (issue.get("resolutiondate") == null || issue.get("customfield_10007")==null)
  return null;
else if ((issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10007").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24) <1)
   return 0;
else
return (issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10007").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24);
 -->

otherwise do this:

<!-- @@Formula:
if (issue.get("resolutiondate") == null || issue.get("customfield_10002")==null)
  return null;
else if ((issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10002").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24) <1)
   return 0;
Else
return (issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10002").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24)
 -->

Does javascript work the same way as autoit with functions? e.g could i just put these into a function and then use the if statement to return/call the function?

**EDIT** Tried using functions, didnt work either, this was the code i used

<!-- @@Formula: 
If (issue.issueTypeObject.name == "Specials"){
   return Specials()
}
Else {
   return Updates()
}

function Specials(){
if (issue.get("resolutiondate") == null || issue.get("customfield_10007")==null)
  return null;
else if ((issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10007").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24) <1)
   return 0;
else
return (issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10007").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24);
}

  function Updates(){
if (issue.get("resolutiondate") == null || issue.get("customfield_10002")==null)
  return null;
else if ((issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10002").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24) <1)
   return 0;
Else
return (issue.get("resolutiondate").getTime() - issue.get("customfield_10002").getTime()) / (1000*60*60*24)
}

JSLint? So now you're using JavaScript?

[13lack13lade]

Yep, thought it was java originally however its actually javascript.

If you could edit the title to be javascript instead of java that would be good.

[JLogan3o13]

You can edit your own title, no need for someone else to do it.

[13lack13lade]

How do you edit the title? lol moderation just comes up with delete.. soz for the noob:(

[guinness]

Still having trouble? I really can't see how an experienced coder could have problems with nested if statements.

[James]

No. This isn't the place for this.

[13lack13lade]

No problems at all, it was doing my head in however the problem was not my code it was with the way i was calling the issue type, it was documented wrong in Jira documentation -.- .... sorted now, thanks for your help guinness

Try and use {} regardless of whether it's a single if statement. There was a bug a while back in an Apple product where a vulnerability was discovered.

if (true)
    // Do this
    // Do this ... which is always executed regardless of whether the condition is true or false

// When it should have been ... 

if (true) {
    // Do this
    // Do this ... only executed if the condition is true
}
