What's the userUri in UserRestClient.getUser(URI userUri)?

Jira Development Jira Server

I am using Java REST API to develop a WEB front for my company.
The first thing is login:

JiraRestClient restClient = factory.createWithBasicHttpAuthentication(jiraServerUri, username, password);

Then to get the user information. There are TWO methods in UserRestClient:

UserRestClient userClient = jiraRestClient.getUserClient();
UserRestClient.getUser(String username);
UserRestClient.getUser(URI userUri);

The API doc says prefer the 2nd method over the first.
But that’s the userUri? How can I get it? All I have is username and password provided by the user.
I tried the first method [UserRestClient.getUser(String username)], but it does NOT work all the time. Sometime is OK, sometime it DOESN’T.

Please help! Thanks a lot!!!

Hi @xianyunjushi,

I have not tried that call, but can you try using the Rest API for GET user? example: http://localhost:2990/jira/rest/api/2/user?username=admin as the UserURI? I’ve checked the code base of the UserRestClient implementation and UserJsonParser, and it seems fit for the getUser(URI userUri).

Let me know if it worked.

Thanks!
