      Currently, JIRA uses XMLRPC to communicate with Confluence in four ways:

      1. Retrieve lists of spaces from the instance.
      2. Search for content in the instance (globally or by space).
      3. Given a pageId, retrieve page titles and urls for Confluence content.
      4. Given a URL, retrieve a pageId for what is assumed to be Confluence content.

      JIRA should use Confluence's REST API to achieve (1). This would:

      • Relieve pressure on Confluence, because the XMLRPC API returns all spaces in the instance at once.
      • Open up the possibility of implementing an autocomplete component, letting users type to find the specific space they want to search.
      • Open up the possibility of searching within multiple spaces instead of just a single one, should this be desirable to do.
