Hi @mailtomano. I’ll need some more information in order to help you. Can you provide more of the stacktrace that you are getting, including some lines referring to code in JIRA itself? Which version of JIRA are you using? Are you very sure that there is an avatar with ID 10000?

By the way, the </> item on the editor toolbar in this developer forum will format your code snippets to make them more readable, like this:

import java.io.IOException;
...

public class CreateIssueTypeManagerImpl extends HttpServlet {
    private IssueTypeManager issueTypeManager;
    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
        resp.setContentType("text/plain");
        PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
        out.println("Creating Issue...");
        ...
    }
}

Thanks David for the replay

i am able to resolve this issue by adding

issueTypeSchemeManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueTypeSchemeManager();

in init method

I used 10000 randomly but image is not getting displayed

could you please help me to know, how to get valid avatar id or list of valid ids thanks

following simple steps will get avatar ids

go to issue type select edit option and try to change the image

select the image and right click and select the option copy image address

and you get url like this

http://din20000106:2990/jira/secure/viewavatar?size=xsmall&avatarId=10315&avatarType=issuetype

And i used that avatar id and it worked well :slight_smile:
