Before you read this blog post read this article to get a understanding about Axis2 JSON module   Creating the folder structure Before we start to do anything lets create the folder structure that will be needed to create the sample. For this sample we will create a folder structure simmilar to the structure given below The resources folder will contain the axis2.xml and the Java code will be added in to src/samples/googleservices/JSONSearch.

      When developing a JIRA gadget for the WSO2 Gadget Server i found out that some aspects of the JIRA facilities are not well documented. This post will try to help with one such not-well documented service provided by Atlassian JIRA.       In my gadget i had to filter the data that i needed according to several parameter that would vary from request to request.I decided to use "searchrequest-xml" that is provided by Atlassian JIRA this can be accessed by a simple URL and can also be filtered using parameters in the URL. This will return a XML containing the data that was requested. How the parameters should be defined to filter the request is not clearly documented. The aim of this post to provide a brief documentation as to how the parameters can be set for the "searchrequest-xml" URL request.
