Archiva

Some jotted notes about Archiva:

To build it run 'mvn install'. If this is the first time, and if you've not pulled this down for some other reason then it will save time to do the following first:

• Download the 1.0 connector from: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/connector/download.html
• Unpack the zip to get the jar
• Run: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.resource -DartifactId=connector -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=connector.jar

To deploy Archiva to Tomcat 5.5

• create a directory in tomcat called archiva, at the same level as bin, conf, logs and the others.
• copy the war file from archiva/archiva-webapp/target into the new directory
• create a conf/Catalina/localhost/archiva.xml file with the following data:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/archiva"
docBase="${catalina.home}/archiva/archiva-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war">

<Resource name="jdbc/users" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username="archiva"
password="archiva"
driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
url="jdbc:derby:database/ARCHIVA;create=true"
/>
</Context>

• Copy archiva/archiva-webapp/target/archiva-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/lib/derby-10.1.3.1.jar into the tomcat common/lib

To deal with a current bug, you'll also need to add the following to your $

/conf/web.xml in the relevant section (search for jspx):

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jspf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
