Hi, We upgraded to Confluence 9.2.2 and our custom plugin fails with 405 (Method Not Allowed) when we try and run it. The plugin basically executes a rest api call for Scroll HTML Exporter where we do some customization to the content downloaded. Upon clicking on the name of the action item to ex…

I managed to fix the issue. In the main class there is an execute() method which for some reason after upgrading to 9.2.2 stopped firing by default. I had to change it from execute() to doDefault() and then specify that method in the action line inside the atlassian-plugin.xml. <action name=“expor…

Hi @DanielHurrell . I have the exact same “Method Not Allowed” issue after installing a custom plugin in Confluence 9.2.4 (which worked perfectly in Confluence 8). Unfortunately, I have two different actions (for view and save): <action name="global-config-view" class="GlobalConfigAction" method="e…

Hi @Dominik2 , my knowledge with the custom plugin development for Confluence is very limited. What you could possibly try if its not a mission is to move the one method to another class and then just name them both to doDefault() and just reference the individual classes so it would look something l…

Hi @DanielHurrell . In the meantime, I already tried that and it worked!! I split my Action classes into two… both with an own doDefault() method. Unfortunately, only my “view” actions are working… a .vm HTML form is correctly displayed when clicking on the Global configuration or the per-Space con…

Hi @Dominik2 , that’s progress at least. Trust me, it took me much longer than it should have to fix the issue I had. I tried so many different things to get it to work but nothing did and then eventually, I came across a developer thread where someone posted their atlassian-plugin.xml and noticed t…

Hi @DanielHurrell Can you please post that developer thread link if you’ve it ? Thanks Nishant

Hi @Nishantupadhyay , I believe I saw the information here: [image] Preparing for Confluence 9.0 - EAP out now Confluence Data Center Announcements Preparing for Confluence 9.0 - EAP coming soon We’re excited to share our plans for the upcoming platform release…

Hi @Dominik2 Did you find any solution for this ? Thanks Nishant

Yes! The problem was not the methods name, but the access to them. I finally made it work like this: <action name="global-config-view" class="GlobalConfigAction" method="executeView"> <param name="permittedMethods">GET,POST</param> <param name="RequireSecurityToken">false</param> <result name="s…

Thanks @dominik2 for the quick response. Actually I tried the same way as you mentioned . But for me , When I click on save button in my form, it is not passing the form values to Action class. Do you have to make any changes in the .vm file for HTML form ? Thanks Nishant

No, I did not have to make any changes regarding this in the VM templates. They still rendered correctly like with Confluence 8, only somehow the access got stricter.
