Question

Jira 5.2 SOAP API is wrapped in a WCF RESTFul service by utilising methods from SOAP API as below fyi.

            public Message GetCustomFields()
            {
            try
            {
            token = this.
            Login(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("JiraUser"),
            ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("JiraPassword"));

            RemoteField[] remoteCompoment = jiraSoapService.getCustomFields(token);
            return WebOperationContext.Current.CreateJsonResponse<RemoteField[]>  
           (remoteCompoment);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            throw e;
        }
    }

All the methods are working as expected.

Query:- Custom database tables are used to populate custom fields in Jira using Kepler.

Jira SOAP api provides RemoteCustomFieldValue partial class to create an issue using Custom Fields.

        //custom fields
        remoteCustomFields = new List<RemoteCustomFieldValue>();
        XmlNodeList customFieldList = doc.SelectNodes("//customFieldValues");
        foreach (XmlNode customField in customFieldList)
        {

            XmlNodeList customFieldValueList = doc.SelectNodes("//customFieldValues/Values");
            remoteCustomFields.Add(
                new RemoteCustomFieldValue
                    {

                        customfieldId = customField.SelectSingleNode("customFieldId").InnerText,
                        values = customFieldValueList.Cast<XmlNode>().Select(n=> n.InnerText).ToArray()

                    });
        }
