Hi Yoav,
I've attached my repo configuration file.... there are 2 repo's of interest,
orion-ivy-remote (for jars) and orion-ivy-ivyfiles (for descriptors) - i found
i had to map the descriptor paths as a separate repo for them to be resolved
when i asked for a 'pom' type in my local pom.xml.
When I ask for an artifact which I know is an ivy.xml I use type 'pom' - this
does a nice job of finding the ivy.xml and returning it as a .pom - still with
the ivy.xml as content however. The guts of artifactory complains that it can't
resolve any maven modules from it - this is to be expected of course.
Some issues i have are:
1. i can only get the 'true' path to the ivy.xml (i.e. ..../ivy.xml) when in
the afterRemoteDownload callback - the remoteRepoPath gives this to me fine.
Anywhere else it is looking for a .pom which means using <i>def origContent =
"${repoUrl}/${repoPath.path}".toURL().text</i> misses. I haven't tried hard to
get around this yet but if i can it will resolve this problem for me.
2. I've tried the Repositories.getStringContent(repoPath) without success -
result is always empty... I suspect this may be for the same reason as above.
3. My remote repos have 'Do not Store Artifacts Locally' checked. I do notice
that if I do a Repositories.exist(ivyfilesRepoPath) i get an exception
complaining that the repo is not local.
There are a few things I want to try again however so no need to respond just
yet - unless there is something obvious that I'm missing. I think my main issue
is that I don't yet entirely understand all the details of artifactory and how
the lifecycle of resolving artifacts works - is there a decent document
somewhere that outlines that?
Regards,
Jon

Hi Jon,
You should be able to use Repositories.getContent() or Repositories.
getStringContent() and specify the repoPath of the remote repository (with or
without "-cache" - both should work). Is that what you tried?
Also, is your remote repo set to store artifacts locally? Which version of
Artifactory are you trying this with?

Thanks Yoav.
Thanks for the help... I am progressing.
My question now is: how do i get a handle on the original content in the
afterRemoteDownload or altRemoteContent callbacks?
*Where I'm at:*
I'm in the afterRemoteDownload callback now.... I can write out a pom to
another repository mapped as you say. My problem now is I can't seem to get
a handle on the original content (i.e. the ivy.xml) to translate it. I've
tried request.getInputStream() but it's null. I've also tried the
getStringContent() method on the repositories object.
I've also successfully used the altRemoteContent callback to change the
content on the fly (and have it cached) and this works well - except again I
can't get a handle on the original content (I've been testing the concept
with a hardcoded pom xml string). Here I've tried the inputStream context
var but as the doco says this is a 'new' instance - so is null by the time I
reach it of course.
It is nice that when i ask for a type 'pom' in my local pom file it get's
automatically mapped to the Ivy descriptor in my ivy repo - nice bit of
magic there.
Hopefully I've just missed something.
Regards,
Jon
