Thought I'd try this again, reworded and under a different subject.
One of the core features of Ivy is dynamic version resolution. For
example, I can request an artifact using a version number like '1.0.+'
or 'latest.integration'. Ivy performs a directory listing of the URL
to see what is available, and retrieves the appropriate version.
This doesn't work with Artifactory. The problem seems to be that it
does not return a consistent directory listing. For example:
If I try to access a URL like:
http:// myhost/artifactory/myrepo/group/module
I get an HTML document with HREF's to pages like:
http:// myhost/artifactory/myrepo-cache/group/module/version
If the hrefs URL's pointed to 'myrepo' instead of 'myrepo-cache' then
Ivy could resolve the versions. But as it is, Ivy can't resolve
dynamically.
I'm new to Artifactory and I can't seem to find any way to set this up
(or something like it, via WebDAV). I opened an Ivy issue and they
basically sent me back to you guys.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1140
Again, dynamic version resolution in this manner is a foundational
feature of Ivy. I really like Artifactory and want to use it with Ivy,
but if Artifactory can't support directory listing & dynamic version
resolution, then it really doesn't support Ivy in any meaningful sense.
Not trying to be provocative with this comment, just trying to state the
situation plainly. Apologies if I have missed some newbie mistake or
overlooked part of the doc.
Thanks,
Carlton
