Hi All, We had a discuss on this topic (Use of non-SCA Mechanisms for Resolving Artifacts) in the month of March under this thread http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05956.html
What we agreed on as a process to follow for the non-SCA mechanism is..... 1. get artifact location from import/include 2. if there is a location then do artifact specific resolution 3. retrieve the artifact using the location provided 4. if no artifact found look in the current contribution for an artifact providing the appropriate namespace 5. if not found report an error 6. else do sca specific resolution 7. use the sca artifact resolution mechanism to find an artifact providing the appropriate namespace 8. if not found report an error So going by this process, if the artifact specified in the location attribute is not found an error is reported either in Step 5 or 8. I believe, TUSCANY-2906 has been re-opened with an expectation that, the artifacts should be resolved even if the location attribute points to an invalid location. I believe that brings back the question which had in the past as posted here.... http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06028.html Now, the question is that, should we allow the artifact (WSDL/XSD) to get resolved even if the artifact specified in the location attribute is not found anywhere after following the above process? -- Thanks & Regards, Ramkumar Ramalingam
