Using repository with HTTP basic auth

["Spies, Brennan" <Br...@ejgallo.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a "quick and dirty" internal Maven repository on
Subversion. I've successfully deployed a few artifacts to the repository
using svn-wagon (https://wagon-svn.dev.java.net/), but I want to be able to
make these dependencies available to other developers with a minimum of fuss.
Unfortunately, our SVN server doesn't allow any read access without
credentials (user/password via HTTP basic auth)--something I can't
control--so I need to use a <repository> that can authenticate with HTTP
basic.

I've tried a few approaches (referring to a <servers> id from the
<repository>, using the svn-wagon plugin), but nothing has worked. Is there a
plugin or other approach I can use to do this?

Thanks,

Brennan

Why are you storing this in SVN?

I know that the java.net guys are using SVN because there are limits to how
their infrastructure is set up.

Far better is to just run nexus... 5 minutes and you'll have it set up

-Stephen

BTW I have no connection with nexus... unlike the sonatype guys... but I'd
still recommend it

RE: Using repository with HTTP basic auth

You can access SVN through straight-up HTTP, though there are dedicated
clients (your mileage may vary, depends on how you have SVN setup). Actually
I fixed the problem myself. Turns out that my settings.xml file was
incorrect; once I fixed this, the simple approach of pointing the id of my
<repository> in the POM to the id of my <server> with the username/password
worked just fine.

Yes, I should be using Nexus/Artifactory/Archiva, but I am very *constrained*
in my choices to a DEV WebSphere 6.1 server (I can't even put up a Tomcat
server, *sigh*). I tried the Artifactory war file on it...several bug fixes
later (and JIRAs and patches to the project), it still was not working for
me. I didn't have the time to try the same with Archiva (maybe sometime in
the future if they support WAS). Since I don't really need the proxy
functionality--my main goal is to have a repository for internal projects and
for third party libs that are not available on public mvn repositories--this
solution works fine for me, at least for now.

Thanks for the replies, though.

Subversion is a source code repository. Access is through a subversion
client or, possibly, WebDAV. (There are web based clients)

Maven's repository typically holds poms and jar files though it can hold
pretty much any file at all. Access is by Maven itself although the
interface is pretty much a straight file/url based system.

I think you either have your terminology mixed in how the message is worded
or you are trying to do something that is unlikely to work.

If you want to put a Maven repository on a server for shared use, you can
use a repo manager like Nexus or Archiva. (There are others.) These tools
are made for this purpose and you might be able to host them on the same
machine as the one where you host Subversion. Read those application's
documentation to see what is possible if you are required to use HTTP basic
auth.
