Confluence Command Line Interface

I tried to upload a 10 Mb file and got this result:

X:\confluence\javaclient>java -jar release/confluence-soap-0.1.jar --server http://lotto:8080 --user admin --password **** --action addAttachment  --space Test --title att --file x:\Stefan.avi
Successful login to: http://lotto:8080/rpc/soap/confluenceservice-v1
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Files < 8Mb work fine, what is limiting the file size ?
(Confluence 2.1.4 - Attachment max size 1.000 MB - -Xmx512m)

Why isn't there any getPageContent method?

I have tried to add some users with --adduserwithfile but only half of the users could be added.

When i take only the not added users as a base he says Error reading file

I cant use it when i am not sure that he did something, in a large batch job there isnt any log where i can see what he has done and what not. Can you give me a hint why he cant read half of the userfile? And is there a logging method, so i can see what he read or not read?

Bob,

Just wanted to say thanks for a totally awesome utility. My company went live on Confluence about 3 months ago and we have been using it like crazy. Ever since I've been searching for a way to tie Confluence together with my build process. I wanted a way to integrate unattended builds with notifications in Confluence. This awesome utility gives me exactly what I need.

It worked "right out of the box" for me. I tested adding attachments and comments to a page. Perfect! I got an email notification for a page I was watching after the comment was added to the page.

I envision having something like a build page for each release I support. I can ask users to sign up for Notifications to the page. I can add a comment dynamically from an Ant build each time a build completes. Users will then get notified from Confluence that builds are complete. I can also opt to attach the installer to the page and allow users to download it from the Confluence page.

Great product. Great utility. Great people. Thanks for everything.

hello,

how do i get the confluence soap client to work with a server using ssl?

I tried to import the servers certificate using keytool.exe (keytool.exe -import -trustcacerts -file file.cer -keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts) and i still get no connection.. error is like:

BuilderExcption: unable to find valid certification path to request target 

i was ablo to import the functionality of the client into my current project and am ablo to connect to a server running without ssl.

I also tried to load the certfile into the project,  which actually worked but still i dont get a connection to an https url.

Has anybody a working https version of the confluence soap client?

Well i think it could be done using a  SSLSocketFactory, i found some sample code but then i would have to implement the whole soap functionality , or is there a simple way to tell the ConfluenceSoapService to use this Socket??

Um, please repackage your zip (eg confluence-soap-client-0.7) so a folder gets created.  The one time I don't check first I get junk everywhere

The download .ZIP file is corrupt. "confluence-soap-0.7.zip: Unexpected end of archive"
Winzip pro and Vista are both complaining about broken archives for all the downloads of the attachments to this page.

Hi Bob,

I have a question about the StoreNews action. When I add news to a page using StoreNews and then check the news item in Confluence, it shows that it was created by Anonymous and last edited by me.

If I use the StorePage action, Confluence shows that the page was both added by me and last updated by me.

I'd like the StoreNews action to work the same way so that news items show that they were posted by me and not Anonymous.

Here are my command line parameters:

C:\apps\confluence-soap-0.7>java -jar release/confluence-soap-0.7.jar 
--server https://myserver 
 --user jeff.schnitter --password xxxxxxxx --action storeNews --title "Remote" --space 
~jeff.schnitter --file news.txt --userId jeff.schnitter --userFullName
 "Jeff Schnitter"

Am I doing something wrong or is this working as designed?

I am already passing --user and I retried after removing userId and userFullName and get the same result. If I look at the news posting, I see this:

 Added by Anonymous, last edited by Jeff Schnitter  on Sep 04, 2007

(None) EDIT

Does the storeNews function properly update the "Added by" value when you use it?

There is a mistake on your doc on this page and also in readme.txt.

confluence --action addAttachment --title remote --space Test --name input.txt --content "This is page content
another line of content"

should be

confluence --action addAttachment --title remote --space Test --name input.txt --file c:\input.txt

I'm not sure if this interests you or not, but if you migrate the project over to Maven 2, you can use the following to gen the SOAP client (we used this in the Custom Space User Management plugin):

...
<!-- target = axistools:wsdl2java -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>axistools-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<sourceDirectory>wsdl</sourceDirectory>
<packageSpace>your.plugin.package.someapi.soap</packageSpace>
<testCases>false</testCases>
<serverSide>false</serverSide>
<subPackageByFileName>true</subPackageByFileName>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>wsdl2java</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
...
<pluginRepository>
<id>codehaus.org</id>
<name>CodeHaus Plugin Snapshots</name>
<url>http://repository.codehaus.org</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
...

And then pop in the wsdl file in the sourceDirectory: ./wsdl (I think you can also use URLs, etc. - I think I decided on doing it locally so I had more control over it).

I pulled the wsdl from http://confluence.atlassian.com/rpc/soap-axis/confluenceservice-v1?wsdl and generated the client stub code via maven2, but the login call seems to be bad, can anyone see the mistake?

The following fails saying there is no login method, yet the wsdl supported it... any clues?

ConfluenceSoapServiceServiceLocator confluenceSoapServiceGetter=new ConfluenceSoapServiceServiceLocator();
confluenceSoapServiceGetter.setConfluenceserviceV1EndpointAddress("http://server/kb/rpc/soap-axis/confluenceservice-v1");
ConfluenceSoapService confluenceSoapService = confluenceSoapServiceGetter.getConfluenceserviceV1();
String token = confluenceSoapService.login("user", "pass");

GOES BANG HERE with: No such operation 'login'

System.out.println("logged in");

My confluence version is: 2.5.6, build 812

Part of the problem may be that the Remote API Spec links to a WSDL file, yet the same URL on my confluence server yields something else, below. Remote API access is enabled :

"http://server/kb/rpc/soap-axis/confluenceservice-v1">

"ConfluenceSoapService">

 "confluenceservice-v1SoapBinding" type="impl:ConfluenceSoapService">
   "rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>

	"ConfluenceSoapServiceService">
	"impl:confluenceservice-v1SoapBinding" name="confluenceservice-v1">
"http://server/kb/rpc/soap-axis/confluenceservice-v1"/>

cheers,
andy.

Hi....

I want to use remote api but am not able to login. Its throwing exceptions while logging in.

Version Specification:

1. Using confluence-v2.5.6
2. Confluence-soap-0.7.jar

And i have another version Confluence-v2.6.0, Please suggest to this version also if any thing i need to include to use soap in this version.

Please provide answers for both the versions.

Hrm I'm getting errors when trying to add a lot of users (20,000) via addUserWithCSV:

Any idea how to add labels to news?

I tried to use

java -jar release/confluence-soap-0.7.jar --action storeNews --title "progress project report for week ending 11-11-07" --space project1 --file ppr-template.txt --labels "ppr" --server http://localhost --user user--password password

and no labels are added.

I also tried to use the addLabels action with the title (with date prefix,  replacing space with +, plain title) and all did not worked.

java -jar release/confluence-soap-0.7.jar --action addLabels --title "progress project report for week ending 10-11-07" --space project1--labels "ppr" --server http://localhost --user user --password password

Successful login to: http://localhost/rpc/soap/confluenceservice-v1

Bob, have you thought about creating a Maven2 accessible library that wraps the SOAP interface? I added one to the repo, and am half way through creating an example but given this is the Confluence SOAP project, woulnt it be better to be run and updated from here/you? Whilst the soap-client utility is useful for some, just looking at the comments on 'what jars, what version' etc, all this goes away with a maven2 plugin project.

This would encourage more use and further development of the API by increasing the ease with which apps can just 'use' the soap API as opposed to worrying about WSDL and supporting libraries.... I thought I commented on this earlier but cant find it.

This is something so basic, any project that wants to use the API has to do the same thing, again. Are you interested in taking this on - I can give you a pre-built maven2 project for the generation of the code and an example client...

Hi,

When do we get this error?
I tried to fetch the page similarly and it worked without any error.

For anyone wanting to use SOAP as a library in a maven2 project but not wanting to do wsdl compilations etc, I've just added a Confluence page, theres also a Jira page. Neither are currently in the Atlassian repository, I hope to get around to that at some point.

Hi,
I'm trying to get this utility to work with our Confluence site but I am encountering the following problems. I can log in and get a list of spaces, like this:

Do you have any hints what may be wrong? Access rights probably aren't the issue, I can access the space with TimTam editor without problems. We're using Confluence version 2.6.1 Build:#916 XI 09, 2007.

We just updated to 2.7.1 (from 2.7.0).  The SOAP client has worked brilliantly until now.  But it looks like maybe 2.7.1 changed and broke it?  I get:

...

Meanwhile if I poke around I can get the WSDL from  http://hq1almd01:9680/confluence/rpc/soap-axis/confluenceservice-v1&nbsp; but not from  http://hq1almd01:9680/confluence/rpc/soap/confluenceservice-v1

and I thought I should be good on either. I've an idea that this is the root cause/change in 2.7.1 ....

I'm having no luck re-building the client to see if I can change this and prove it, but that's just because maven, wsdl, yadda yadda is all new to me.     Any other ideas?

I am trying to run the jar provided on this page in confluence 2.6.2.I am getting the following error when I run confluence.bat.Even with a command such as confluence --help it gives the same error.

I unzipped the command line utility v1.1.0, modified the confluence.bat file to add my server, user and password, and ran a simple command confluence --action getUserList to see what would happen. But for some reason, it gives me the error "Parameter 'action' is required".

I am a confluence-admin user in a Confluence v2.7.2 installation. I am running Java version 1.6.0_03 on Windows XP, and I know my SOAP API is enabled (I use the Microsoft Office Add-in all the time). What am doing wrong? I'm probably missing something plainly obvious, and I should smack myself...

Hey, I have another question. I need to get a list of users that belong to a specific group (confluence-users). There are about 500 users in our system that belong to that group, and the Web Interface gives me the list in pages of 10 users. I'd like a single list of 500 that I can copy and paste into a spreadsheet. I'm looking through your documents... I see a getuserList action (which gives me a and a list of users) and a getGroupList action (which gives me a list of groups), but nothing like a getUsersForGroup action (which would give me a list of users assigned to a particular group). Is there another way I can do this using the existing CLI actions? If not, that would be really helpful as an enhancement.

Hello,

this plugin sounds great, but during download of the plugin I get an error messag "can't find file atlassian-plugin.xml"

How to get on?

BTW. I'm running Conluence 2.7.2 

Thx in advance 

-Stefan

Hello

I've got a question: Is it possible to login thru remoteAPI and then using the login token for a normal browser based session without login again?

Something like http://host:8080/login.action?login=(token)...\\

Thanks a lot.

Andreas

Thanks a lot for implementing the confluence cli. I think it's very useful.

Is there a way i can export a wiki space in the wiki syntax format ? I see that you have XML, PDF, and HTML. I want to export the sources for an entire wiki space in the wiki format. Just for backing up my sources. Is it possible ?
 

Thanks,

Nilesh 

Hello,

 I have problems with getting zip-archive containig a space export in HTML-Format. Our configuration:

Confluence: Version: 2.5.2 Build:#807 Mai 20, 2007

"Plugin": confluence-cli-1.3.0-distribution

After starting the following command

java -jar release/confluence-cli-1.3.0.jar --server http://ourconfluence/  \
    --user mirroruser --password *** --action exportSpace \
    --space SPACENAME --file SPACENAME.zip --exportType HTML

the following message appears:

org.swift.common.cli.CliClient$ClientException: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
http://ourconfluence//download/temp/export_05282008_140300/
SPACENAME-20080528-14_05_16.zip?os_username=mirroruser&os_password=***

The zip-file exist in /var/confluence/temp, but not in /var/confluence/download/temp, in the filesystem of our confluence host.

How can I change the temp-directory which cli expected?

Regards
Rolf

Hello all,

 i have an issue when trying to download an attachment with the getAttachment, i send this kind of command line,

confluence.bat --action getAttachment --title ""1st QC"" --space TestSpace --name test1.doc --file E:/test1.doc

when I try to open the downloaded file, he seems to be corrupted. i tried with text file, it works fine but with non-text files (.doc, .jpg, ...) after downloading the file is impossible to read, do you have an idea ?

i'm using cli 1.3.0 and confluence 2.8.1,

 thanks in advance,

Getting a classcast exception as Axis fault and the login fails.

Tried with both 1.2 & 1.3 versions with Confluence 2.7. Is it because of Axis version mismatch?

Bob,

This is just the coolest Confluence CLI! I needed to add a number of users to various groups and there was the option to do this. But even better there was an option to read the users and groups from a csv file! And I worked out the format easily enough. Thank you for going the extra step and thinking about real use cases.

~Matt

Hallo,

 nice tool, I just managed to get a space exported as zipped XML, in the same format as from the interactive "Export Space". But  I seem to be a little blind today - how do I get it imported again? I am missing  "--action importSpace".

Greetings

 Andreas

Hallo,
we try to automatically export some of our spaces with the confluence command line client 1.3.0. This works fine for "ds" and the first of our spaces , but the second ("ITH") is slightly larger and sometimes (depending on the load on the server?) yields a timeout after ten minutes:

Confluence support refuses to help me in CSP-21222

What is the solution _except_ voting for anything or not to use confluence-cli?

Dear Bob, this is just a followup from my post here: http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-5095?focusedCommentId=122027#action_122027

Am not sure how possible it is, but please find a high level issue that I am faced with:

SUMMARY:
We have several Spaces, with basic viewing permissions overall, but some sections/subsections need to be edited by certain  people only per Space. (The sections and subsections are simply pages within the Space, and children within those pages.)

SCENARIO:
When we edit-restrict section-A to people in group-A, those people will only be able to make edits, if group-A is given edit rights at the Space level.
&
When we edit-restrict section-B to people in group-B, those people will only be able to make edits, if group-B is given edit rights at the Space level.

PROBLEM:
When people or groups of people need to have pages "Hidden" to those who can view and edit the pages, its not so bad.
BUT:
The problem is that if we want to prevent section-A from being edited by anyone outside of Group-A we cant, because group-B will have the permissions as Group-B was given edit-rights at the Space level.

Aside from creating a completely new and separate Space, which is not ideal, then the "probably already extremely well reported but extremely tedious" way to resolve this, is to edit each and every page within each and every section of the space, and set the edit restrictions at the page level to whichever group-X needs to actually edit it. Not to mention having to remember to set the restrictions for each and every new page added.

QUESTIONS:
Forgive me as i havent been able to fully read and understand this whole CLI page, though is there any way in which the CLI tool can help us, eg:

Q1) To allow us to easily specify a Parent page, and to specify which restrictions/people or groups need applying to it, and automatically to any children beneath it?
(If this was possible, we could simply set the bulk of them using the CLI, and then go into a few manually to tweak the settings if needs be).

Q2) Is there a way to address the issue where new children do not inherit the edit restrictions too., unlike the Viewing restrictions which are inherited? (or would we need to follow the solution from Q1 above, at regular intervals to make sure that the new pages also have the correct permissions applied?)

Q3) Is there any way of invoking/accessing the CLI or some CLI features via the Front end? (such as via the admin console for example)? While certian people might be Administering Confluence from the front end, they might not all necessarily have backend db/server/infrastructure/ level access.

Q4) If Q1 can be implemented, iIs there a way of invoking the necessary API steps in a macro { } so that we could make a macro and simply add it to the parent page of the section, and when the page is saved/viewed, it would simply rerun/apply the settings throughout that section?

As mentioned in the above post on the Atlassian page, Perhaps the simplest option which would be GREAT, would be a simple popup, where you can "set this page permission, and apply it all to children too", (with an option overriding any settings they have). But as that might need to be implemented at the Core of Confluence, it probably would take a long time for them to implement it?

If you are able to offer any advice or help in any way, that would be greatly appreciated.
kind regards,
Paul

Add an "="

I just installed this app, and it appears that I cannot access confluence from a client machine. I am only able to access it locally (on the server). Is this the way this product works? Or am I missing a configuration setting? Please advise.

 Here's what I get when I attempt to access froma  client machine:

Thanks. 

Just have a couple of questions.

1. Is there some way I am able to view the groups and individual users that have access to a given site. Similar to what I see when I go to the Space Admin > Permission section. I am only able to see what permissions a user has on a given space.

2. Any chance we can get more info on the getSpaceinfo action? Like who created it, when it was created, and last modified info?

Thanks

Jason K

Great utility Bob, and very useful for learning the remote API!
cheers, jamie

Hello Bob, have you ever thought of making a GUI version of your Command Line Interface, as an actual plugin for the front end? (or to make it have some sort of visual representation with more "point and click" features?

regards,
Paul

Hi all,

is there a description somewhere how to setup the CLI when working with a remote (https !!) wiki?

I am struggling for a few hours with keystores/cacerts, setting javax properties, etc, without much progress. Must be doing wrong something.

Thanks in advance,

Herman de Boer

Hi All,

i'm hitting CSOAP-29. Non-ascii characters are replaced by a '?', when saving content to a file. Any chance for a fix or workaround?

Thanks in advance,

Herman.

The help text for the --permissions option has a typo.  It says one of the valid space permissions is "viewsspace".  It should be "viewspace" with one "s".

I am getting a socket timeout error when I export a large space. It looks like the timeout is set to 10 minutes. I have tried several settings in Tomcat and Confluence, but it always times out after 10 minutes. Is there a timeout setting for the cli? I looked at the code but it looks to be in a class that isn't available for review. Can we get an option to set the timeout for the cli, or does anyone know the option for Tomcat or Confluence that would resolve this? I have tried the disableUploadTimeout option and setting timeout to a high value and they have no effect. BTW, the space I am trying to export takes 30 minutes to complete.

Here is the error.

org.swift.common.cli.CliClient$ClientException: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

Hi there,

is there a possibility to list all people (groups and/or individual users) having a permission in a space? With getPermissionList I only get the permissions but not the users/groups.

Thanks in advance
Claudia

Hi,

I got "org.swift.common.cli.CliClient$ClientException: java.io.FileNotFoundException:" when I try to export a Space. If I look att the URL that is given it looks like there is a problem with an extra "/"

Example: org.swift.common.cli.CliClient$ClientException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: [http://wiki.xxx.xxx.xxx/wiki//download/temp
/export_03032009_101146/Dataservice-20090303-10_11_46-16.pdf?os_username=XXXXXXX&os_password=XXXXXXX]

If I remove on slash before //download I can retrive the file through my browser.
Is there a known bug?

Im running confluence 2.9 as a war in a jboss.
