ivy and artifactory resolving failure

Question

Having a small issue with ivy, artifactory and the spring repo. I was attempting to use:

<dependency org="org.springframework.ldap"      name="spring-ldap-core" rev="1.3.2.RELEASE"         conf="compile->default"/>
<dependency org="org.springframework.ldap"      name="spring-ldap"      rev="1.3.2.RELEASE"         conf="compile->default"/>

with ivy settings:

<resolvers>
  <filesystem name="local">
    <ivy pattern="${repository.dir}/[module]/ivy.xml" />
    <artifact pattern="${repository.dir}/[module]/[artifact].[ext]" />
  </filesystem>
  <chain name="chain">
    <resolver ref="local"/>
    <ibiblio name="artifactory-spring" m2compatible="true" root="http://artifactory.xxx.com:8081/artifactory/spring-release"/>
    <ibiblio name="artifactory"        m2compatible="true"  root="http://artifactory.xxx.com:8081/artifactory/repo1"/>
  </chain>
</resolvers>

However, I'm getting errors (ant publish -verbose mode)

[ivy:cachepath] CLIENT ERROR: Not Found url=http://artifactory.xxx.com:8081/artifactory/spring-release/spring-ldap/jars/spring-ldap-1.3.2.RELEASE.jar

indicating that repo1 doesn't have version 1.3.2 and the spring maven repo doesn't have the pom or anything. How do I get ivy (or maybe artifactory?) to deal with the spring maven repo properly? I'm guessing the spring repo is simply not m2compatible, though I've tried flagging the ibiblio setting to false for this.

Thanks!

You have configured your settings file to download from the non-existent "xxx.com" domain.

Good news is that you don't need a settings file at all, by default ivy will download from the Maven Central repository.

Bad news is that there is no 1.3.2.RELEASE version of the spring-ldap artifact:

• spring-ldap versons
• spring-ldap-code versions

The following ivy file works:

  <dependency org="org.springframework.ldap"      name="spring-ldap-core" rev="1.3.2.RELEASE"         conf="compile->default"/>
  <dependency org="org.springframework.ldap"      name="spring-ldap"      rev="1.3.1.RELEASE"         conf="compile->default"/>
