Hi,
Maven clients access a repository through a direct URL constructed by the
dependency groupId, artifactId and version.
So when you define a dependency, maven will try to fetch it from:
http://artifactoryserver:port/local-repository/groupId/artifactId/...
On the way maven will also try to grab the maven-metadata.xml but still the
URL is direct, there is no guessing there.
I think you are confusing a bit with virtual
repository<http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Virtual+Repositories>,
we always recommend as a best practice to provide your clients with a
single point virtual repository to resolve from.
In this case, the order inside this virtual repository is locals, caches,
remotes. The order between same try of repositories is determined by the UI
(Admin -> Repositories, how they are ordered there).
