ServiceMix and mvn repos access

[pchandler]

I have a local mvn repository on my LAN (not my host) that I am deploying my bundles to. The repo requires username/password. I would like to install my bundles from this local repo directly into servicemix (ex. install mvn:...  )

So: in etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg I added:

org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories= ... , 
http\://username\:[e-mail]/content/repositories/

The can't install anything from this repo "URL: whatever could not be resolved."

Questions: Is this going to work? Does "org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories" support repos with authentication? Is there a way to test connectivity with this repo?

When I built/depoyed my bundle I added "". Which then append -osgi onto the jar name.

Question: Does the mvn: URL in servicemix allow for classifier? i.e., Can I install a bundle, via mvn URL, that has a classifier? Example please?

The ServiceMix mvn: URL syntax is

mvn:[repository_url!]groupId/artifactId[/[version]/[type]]

Question: what is type?

Sorry for all the questions.

Peter.

Hi,

About your questions

Questions: Is this going to work? Does "org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories" support repos with authentication? Is there a way to test connectivity with this repo?

Yes, "org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories" support it, as we have internal restrict repo and we configure it this way like

http://your_username:your_password@your_resctrict_repo/...

To test the  connectivity with restrict repo I think you can

configure your maven settings.xml, add

and create a maven project on your local machine which need download artifacts from restrict repo,  to see if it works.

Question: Does the mvn: URL in servicemix allow for classifier? i.e., Can I install a bundle, via mvn URL, that has a classifier? Example please?

More details please take a look at ,

actually the syntax is

mvn-uri := 'mvn:' group-id / artifact-id [ classifier ] ] ] ]

Here is an example I can come up with

mvn:org.apache.camel.karaf/apache-camel/2.4.0-fuse-01-00/xml/features

group-id org.apache.camel.karaf

artifact-id apache-camel

version 2.4.0-fuse-01-00

type xml

classifier features

Freeman,

Thanks I got this working.

For the record (help someone else), I did have an issue with maven 2.x, repository, deployment, classifiers, metadata and snapshots.

I implemented my bundle by adding a "osgi" maven classifier. I then deploying the bundle to Nexus (the repository). When the bundle is created in Nexus the timestamp/build-number is NOT getting added, because the artifact's classifier isn't included in the repository's metadata (maven-metadata.xml).

When I did a karaf@root> install mvn:..., org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn would use the timestamp/build-number in the metadata and no jar existed.

java.lang.RuntimeException: URL [mvn:com.inc.headoffice/project/1.9-SNAPSHOT/jar/osgi] could not be resolved.

Note: fix in maven 3.0.
