Add groups with GroupManager or CrowdServiceImpl fails

[Mohand TALBI]

Hello,

Whe have a plugin that adds groups in jira 5.2.2, I use SAL plugin to automate the import  but now when I try to add groups in my JIRA 7.1.7  I get this error:

com.atlassian.crowd.exception.runtime.OperationFailedException:
org.springframework.transaction.CannotCreateTransactionException:
Could not create DirContext instance for transaction;
nested exception is org.springframework.ldap.NoInitialContextException:
Cannot instantiate class: com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory;
nested exception is javax.naming.NoInitialContextException:
Cannot instantiate class: com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
[Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory not found by myPlugin [199]]
at com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.core.CrowdServiceImpl.addGroup(CrowdServiceImpl.java:545)
at com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.core.DelegatingCrowdService.addGroup(DelegatingCrowdService.java:151)
at com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.core.FilteredCrowdServiceImpl.addGroup(FilteredCrowdServiceImpl.java:271)

The groups are local, why CrowdServiceImpl needs DirContext object?

Thank you for help!

This error looks like this one here Spring scan

If you have used SAL plugin, you will probably get the same problem.

I switched to another solution, I use JiraService but with this solution, I must put my jar file in WEB-INF/lib
