Noob Question, Transitive Dependencies?
Please forgive me if this message is posted to the mail list twice, I
did not receive any confirmation when I mailed it previously.
Hi everyone, I've been looking over the documentation, and something
basic is eluding me. I have a dependency setup for a library say
Hibernate. The dependency is defined as:
<dependency org="hibernate" name="hibernate" rev="3.2.6"/>
The resolver is chained to first look in a local repository hosted by an
Apache server, then ibiblio. I have a directory in Apache Ivy
repository for hibernate and it contains the hibernate-3.2.6-jar file,
which is resolved just fine, but how do I pull in other jars that reside
in the same directory that hibernate depends on -- (such as
javassist.jar or ejb3-persistence.jar) without explicitly listing each
jar file as a dependency?
There must be some way to do this, and I am sure it is probably
documented, but I can't find it. Can anyone help me out with a simple
answer and short example?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Michael Griffith

The publications passage you cite below would go in the ivy.xml for your
hibernate/hibernate module. The dependency element you cite below would go
in the ivy.xml for the *dependent *module. I think that's the part of the
equation you weren't getting.

Mitch,
Again, I appreciate your reply, although I'm still not getting it. ;-(
Would I use:
<publications>
<artifact name="hibernate" type="jar" />
</publications>
Instead of:
<dependency org="hibernate" name="hibernate" rev="3.2.6"/>
What would the whole ivy.xml file look like? Sorry to be a pest, but
this seems too abstract to me.

The distinction is that the dependency is on a *module*, say
org="hibernate," name="hibernate," rather than on an actual publication
artifact. Depending on modules provides an abstraction layer so you're
not depending on artifacts directly.
Now, it's only with configurations where you get into the cool ways of
picking and choosing which artifacts you want to publish when, and which
parts of a module you want to depend on when. Admittedly, it takes a
while for all this to sink in, but once it does, it makes perfect sense.

Mitch,
Thanks for the reply. It seems as though I still have to go through and
add each jar as an artifact. I'm not sure what the distinction is
between a publication and a dependency...

If you're putting those other JARs in the same location in your Ivy
repository, then the easiest approach is to also make them publications
in the ivy.xml in that location. Something like:
<publications>
<artifact name="hibernate" type="jar" />
<artifact name="javassist" type="jar" />
<artifact name="ejb3-persistence" type="jar" /> ...
<artifact name="hibernate-src" type="source" ext="zip"/>
</publications>
Note that when your dependency specifies name="hibernate"--it's
specifying the *module*, not the actual artifact. So that
hibernate/hibernate dependency will pick up not just the hibernate JAR
but also the other ones, assuming you're not doing any filtering out of
certain artifacts based on configuration.
