Hi @david2 ,

Yes this will have an impact on vendors. Luckily it will only affect the consumers of the Java API so if they’re using REST APIs for their scripts or add-ons then they have nothing to worry about.

For consumers of the Java API that want to simultaneously support both versions of the API I would suggest a bridge layer that would decide what version of the API to use and converting it to your own internal preference. I have anecdotal evidence that quite a few vendors already have similar and we even do something like that for Portfolio for Jira.

So abstracting calls to the JSD API through your own wrapper

       Your code
           |
           |
      JSD Bridge
           |
     +------------+
     |            |
 JSD 3.x       JSD 4.x

The choice of whether you convert the exceptions to Either<AnError, T> like it used to be or convert the Eithers to Exceptions is entirely up to the vendor and how they want to handle things.

Those might look something like

try {
	ServiceDeskComment serviceDeskComment = serviceDeskCommentService.getServiceDeskCommentById(user, commentId);
} catch (ServiceDeskServiceException e) {
    return Either.left(new AnError(ErrorMessage.builder().message(e.getMessage()).build(), HttpStatusCode.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR));
}

or

either.fold(err -> {
    throw new ServerException(err.getMessage());
}, Function.identity());

Both of which I’d put in some kind of helper to help keep the duplication down.

Hope that helps
