Newbie questions about ivy files, artifacts and poms

[Alan Romaniuc <a....@gmail.com>]

Hi,

It is possible to configure ivy in the following scenario:
1) Look for ivy files in a local folder
2) Search in ibiblio for not found local ivy files
3) Search in ibiblio for pom files
4) Search anywhere else for ivy files

5) If a file can be found in cache, get from there
6) Download files not found from repo 2
7) Keep searching other repos.



I have the following ivysettings file:

------------------------------------------
<ivysettings>
    <property name="ivy.local.default.root"
value="${ivy.default.ivy.user.dir}/local" override="false"/>
    <property name="ivy.local.default.ivy.pattern"
value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact].[ext]"
override="false"/>
    <property name="ivy.local.default.artifact.pattern"
value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact].[ext]"
override="false"/>
    <settings defaultResolver="default"/>
    <resolvers>
        <chain name="default" >
            <ibiblio name="ibiblio" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true" />
            <url name="wicket-stuff" m2compatible="true">
                <artifact
pattern="http://wicketstuff.org/maven/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
            </url>
            <filesystem name="local-ivy" >
                <ivy
pattern="${ivy.project.dir}/ivy/[organisation]/[module]/ivy-[revision].xml"
/>
            </filesystem>
        </chain>
    </resolvers>
</ivysettings>
------------------------------------------
So,. lets suppose that I have a hibernate and wicket dependency.
hibernate has a local ivy file, but wicket not. I also do not have a
hibernate jar in cache, so it should download from ibiblio or
wicket-stuff respecting my ivy file. There is not a wicket ivy file,
so it would try ivy files from anywhere else or pom files.

When I use that configuration, ivy search hibernate locally only,
giving me a fail, and wicket runs fine.

Is it possible to do that?


Thanks

Yes, this is possible. What you need is use a dual resolver where the first
part is a chain of resolvers doing #1 #2 #3 #4, and the second part is a
chain doing #6 and #7. #5 is always done by Ivy cache management, unless you
use a custom cache manager if you want something very specific.
