Answer 1

Here is an example using Rally REST Api Tookit for Java that creates a defect and then creates an attachment on the defect:
public class CreateDefectAddAttachment{
public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException, IOException {
String host = "https://rally1.rallydev.com";
String apiKey = "_abc123";
String projectRef = "/project/12352608219";
String applicationName = "RestExample_createDefectAttachScreenshot";
RallyRestApi restApi = new RallyRestApi(new URI(host),apiKey);
restApi.setApplicationName(applicationName);
//Read User
QueryRequest userRequest = new QueryRequest("User");
userRequest.setQueryFilter(new QueryFilter("UserName", "=", "user#company.com"));
QueryResponse userQueryResponse = restApi.query(userRequest);
JsonArray userQueryResults = userQueryResponse.getResults();
JsonElement userQueryElement = userQueryResults.get(0);
JsonObject userQueryObject = userQueryElement.getAsJsonObject();
String userRef = userQueryObject.get("_ref").getAsString();
try {
for (int i=0; i<1; i++) {
//Create a defect
JsonObject newDefect = new JsonObject();
newDefect.addProperty("Name", "bug1234");
newDefect.addProperty("Project", projectRef);
CreateRequest createRequest = new CreateRequest("defect", newDefect);
CreateResponse createResponse = restApi.create(createRequest);
if (createResponse.wasSuccessful()) {
System.out.println(String.format("Created %s", createResponse.getObject().get("_ref").getAsString()));
//Read defect
String ref = Ref.getRelativeRef(createResponse.getObject().get("_ref").getAsString());
System.out.println(String.format("\nReading Defect %s...", ref));
String imageFilePath = "C:/";
String imageFileName = "pic.png";
String fullImageFile = imageFilePath + imageFileName;
String imageBase64String;
long attachmentSize;
// Open file
RandomAccessFile myImageFileHandle = new RandomAccessFile(fullImageFile, "r");
try {
long longLength = myImageFileHandle.length();
long maxLength = 5000000;
if (longLength >= maxLength) throw new IOException("File size >= 5 MB Upper limit for Rally.");
int fileLength = (int) longLength;
// Read file and return data
byte[] fileBytes = new byte[fileLength];
myImageFileHandle.readFully(fileBytes);
imageBase64String = Base64.encodeBase64String(fileBytes);
attachmentSize = fileLength;
// First create AttachmentContent from image string
JsonObject myAttachmentContent = new JsonObject();
myAttachmentContent.addProperty("Content", imageBase64String);
CreateRequest attachmentContentCreateRequest = new CreateRequest("AttachmentContent", myAttachmentContent);
CreateResponse attachmentContentResponse = restApi.create(attachmentContentCreateRequest);
String myAttachmentContentRef = attachmentContentResponse.getObject().get("_ref").getAsString();
System.out.println("Attachment Content created: " + myAttachmentContentRef);
//Create the Attachment
JsonObject myAttachment = new JsonObject();
myAttachment.addProperty("Artifact", ref);
myAttachment.addProperty("Content", myAttachmentContentRef);
myAttachment.addProperty("Name", "AttachmentFromREST.png");
myAttachment.addProperty("Description", "Attachment From REST");
myAttachment.addProperty("ContentType","image/png");
myAttachment.addProperty("Size", attachmentSize);
myAttachment.addProperty("User", userRef);
CreateRequest attachmentCreateRequest = new CreateRequest("Attachment", myAttachment);
CreateResponse attachmentResponse = restApi.create(attachmentCreateRequest);
String myAttachmentRef = attachmentResponse.getObject().get("_ref").getAsString();
System.out.println("Attachment created: " + myAttachmentRef);
if (attachmentResponse.wasSuccessful()) {
System.out.println("Successfully created Attachment");
} else {
String[] attachmentContentErrors;
attachmentContentErrors = attachmentResponse.getErrors();
System.out.println("Error occurred creating Attachment: ");
for (int j=0; j<attachmentContentErrors.length;j++) {
System.out.println(attachmentContentErrors[j]);
}
}
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception occurred while attempting to create Content and/or Attachment: ");
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
String[] createErrors;
createErrors = createResponse.getErrors();
System.out.println("Error occurred creating a defect: ");
for (int j=0; i<createErrors.length;j++) {
System.out.println(createErrors[j]);
}
}
}
} finally {
//Release all resources
restApi.close();
}
}
}
