When building my jar with Maven using provided credentials, Java ignores the Jira parameters, leading to 401 errors. Example:
mvn compile package -Duser_id=demoUser -Dsecret_code=demoPass
java -jar -Duser_id=demoUser -Dsecret_code=demoPass bin/appArtifact.jar "Version Update"
It appears that the order of the JVM system properties may be the issue. In my experience, system properties such as authentication parameters must be placed before the -jar option in the command line. For instance, setting -Duser_id and -Dsecret_code before specifying the jar file enables the Java Virtual Machine to pick them up properly. I encountered a similar issue last month, and reorganizing the command line resolved the unauthorized error after confirming Maven correctly passes those properties during runtime.
While working on a similar integration project, I discovered that misconfiguration in the application’s resource handling was often a culprit rather than just the command line syntax. In my case, I had to ensure that the Maven build process correctly incorporated the passed parameters in the final packaging configuration. This involved checking the filtering process in the resources section of the pom file. Additionally, validating the initialization order in the code revealed that certain configuration files would override the runtime values if not properly managed. Addressing these configuration nuances fixed my authentication problems.
