cannot use a samba share as managed repository

[nicolas de loof <ni...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'd like my managed repository to be stored on a file server. I can acces it
using a smb share : \\servfichier\Maven_Repository\public
The URL file://///servfichier/Maven_Repository/public/ works well to acces
it

When I configure Archiva using this path, the artifact request fails in the
DAVRepository class.
The constructor of this class builds an URI from the File. From
\\servfichier\Maven_Repository\public as a File, the URI is
file:/servfichier/Maven_Repository/public/ that is invalid.

This URI is built using the JRE File class and it's toURI() and normalize()
methods. So I don't know if I missunderstood the use of windows-share under
Java.

All this relates to class from it.could.webdav, so maybe this is not the
best place to ask for this...

Just for info, this issue is documented at
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4723726

Maybe some day will SUN consider windows as a supported platform ;-)

As tomcat runs as a windows service on an server I can't admin , I cannot
mount the windows share. I'll have to store my managed repo in a local
folder and configure some backup...

The \\computername\sharedfolder\resource syntax is UNC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Naming_Convention

Java has terribly inconsistent support for UNC.
(mostly due to slash escaping bugs)
It's far more reliable to mount your share, and reference it via the
mount point.

You should mount the share locally.  Java does not have built-in
support for accessing smb shares.
