You might have the same problem as reported in IVY-1131, which is fixed in SVN trunk. Cfr. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1131
Could you try again with current trunk version to check if the problem still occurs? You can download a snapshot here: http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/view/Ant/job/Ivy/ regards, Maarten ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, March 15, 2010 1:11:12 PM Subject: Dependency descriptor mediation/overriding Hi All, I have a complex dependency graph in which all dependencies are resolved dynamically (using Version Range Matcher - revConstraint="[1.1,2.0[" for example). I have a use case in which I need to override the revision of a particular transitive dependency from the root of my graph, without having to introduce a dependence on that transitive dependency in my root node. I'm hoping to use Ivy to drive SOA integration; that is, I'll be versioning web services, not binary artefacts at all! My understanding of the documentation is that using the <override> element in my root node's <dependencies> element will achieve this: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/ivyfile/override.html I'm puzzled however, by the results of my experiments with this. If I make the value of "rev" outside what is permitted by the "revConstraint" on that dependency, I get the following message: [ivy:resolve] dependency descriptor has been mediated: dependency: com.nokia#MyDependency;1.1 {*=[*]} => dependency: com.nokia# MyDependency;0.9 {*=[*]} While this sounds like it's doing the job, the resulting report shows that this mediation has not occurred at all. If I set the "rev" in the <override> to a value that sits inside the "revConstraint", my desired use case, the above log message does not appear, and the report also shows that the override has been ignored. Are <override> elements ignored for dynamic resolution? If so, does anybody know a way of achieving this given I have no conflicts? Kind regards, James p.s. BTW - I love the pretty pictures I get from the Report that show our service dependency graphs.
