Bug tracking integration with Fast Bug Track

Frank.Neumann · Post by **Frank.Neumann** » Tue May 31, 2005 6:32 am

Our company uses Fast Bug Track (http://www.fastbugtrack.com) as enterprise wide bug tracking tool.
Vault currently supports the integration with Dragnet and Fog Buz only. Is there an easy way to support the bug tracking integration with Fast Bug Track as well?
Fast Bug Track supports both access via jsp as well as SOAP and has an example posted how to integrate with CVS (http://www.fastbugtrack.com/support/admin/tools.html).

What is the best way of integrating Vault with Fast Bug Track?

Best regards,

Frank Neumann

I don't think this could be done very easily. If you could re-work / re-name Fast Bug Track to accept HTTP requests to mimic FogBugz's behavior you might get close, but this might be difficult based on FogBugz's ASP foundation.

As for Dragnet integration, you would have to create a Web Service's based application for Fast Bug Track to imitate Dragnet's authentication as well as the other behaviors.

You can find more about how to mimic the FogBugz API at http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?p=1844#1844

I would rather investigate the Dragnet approach. Could please send me the WSDL file of Dragnet?

The WSDL will depend on the version of Dragnet.

For example, you can find one of the descriptions here:
http://vaultdemo.sourcegear.com/Dragnet ... .asmx?wsdl

We have a webservice in place, which emulates the Dragnet webservice.

It runs under 'HOSTNAME/dragnet/dragnet.asmx'.

Vault is configured to search Dragnet under:

'HOSTNAME/dragnet'

When doing a check-in, we click the 'Browse' button on the check-in dialog. Then the 'Dragnet Login' dialog appears. After entering the user name and password and hitting OK, Vault should contact our webservice, but no call at the Login webservice method arrives.

Do you have any idea on what we are doing wrong?
You could we debug the scenario?

Any help is welcome.

In order to have the Vault client successfully log in to your fake dragnet web service, you would need to exactly emulate the Dragnet login procedure. If you need more details, email me using the button below this post.

Did you ever get this working? I am looking into doing something similar, and would like to explore this option as well as the fogbugz style.

We don't know of anyone who's successfully integrated their bug tracking system with a web service type of integration. You might have more luck with the Fog-Bugz style integration.

After dealing with several webservice interoperablity issues between the Java and the .NET world and a new version of Fast Issue Track easing some of the interoperability issues, we managed to establish the integration between Vault and our enterprise wide bug tracking tool Fast Issue Track (http://www.fittrackingsolutions.com).

We implemented a webservice as a bridge to Fast Issue Track, which is based on the Dragnet WSDL file. The Dragnet WSDL does fortunately contain a couple of extensibility features, which were quite useful for the integration with a foreign bug tracking system (

- a special thanks to the Dragnet developers).

The solution we developed may be of special interest to other Vault customers, either as a concrete solution for the integration with Fast Issue Track or a more general example how to integrate with Vault via the Dragnet interface. Therefore we could consider adding it to vaultpub.sourcegear.com (in case this server is still used), after the people of SourceGear take a look at some sensitive parts of the code.

Please let me know what you consider as most appropriate.

Best regards,

Our developers are fairly tied up right now with work on Vault 3.5.2 and 4.0. I'm willing to email users in our Feature Request database who have expressed interest in something like this. If we get enough response we'll try to take a look at your code.

Other Vault users -- please let us know if you're interested in having this information available on VaultPub.

OK - thanks for the update. I am waiting for your input.
