It doesn't look like it's a remote repo/caching problem. Here's what I'm seeing: URL #1 - Using http://<artifactory-local-repo-url>/<path-to-artifact-root-dir>/maven-metadata.xml I see metadata for version 3.2.1, for example. URL #2 - Using http://<artifactory-remote-repo-url>/<path-to-artifact-root-dir>/maven-metadata.xml I see metadata for version 3.3.1 and 3.3.0, for example. This matches what I'm seeing by hitting the actual remote repo as well, so it looks like the two are in synch. URL #3 - Using http://<artifactory-virtual-repo-url>/<path-to-artifact-root-dir>/maven-metadata.xml I see metadata for version 3.2.1 (the same as in URL #1, above). This virtaul repo URL contains the local and remote repos listed above (URL #1 and #2). Some other observations: - If I manually remove the "local" version of maven-metadata.xml (from URL #1's path), then URL #3 provides the same metadata as URL #2, above. - If I redeploy the local version of the artifact[1], the local metadata file gets regenerated, and URL #3 returns the same thing as URL #1, again. So, it looks like, the metadata from URL #3 is getting selected based on a local-then-remote basis instead of merging the two together and providing a unified view. Bob Notes: - As an aside, I would have assumed the local metadata file would be regenerated (after deletion) upon its request, but it took an actual re-deployment to make that file appear again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Artifactory-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/artifactory-users
