| Metadata API and Persistence |
| |
| The Metadata Java API is comprised of the following: |
| |
| * The Java model |
| |
| * The Metadata repository API |
| |
| * The plugins for storing the metadata repository content |
| |
| * Metadata Models |
| |
| The Java model is a very simply representation of the metadata. Presently the following are represented: |
| |
| * {{{./apidocs/org/apache/archiva/metadata/model/MetadataFacet.html} repository metadata facets}} |
| |
| * {{{./apidocs/org/apache/archiva/metadata/model/ProjectMetadata.html} project metadata}} |
| |
| * {{{./apidocs/org/apache/archiva/metadata/model/ProjectVersionMetadata.html} project version metadata}} |
| |
| * various subtypes |
| |
| More information can be found in the |
| {{{./apidocs/org/apache/archiva/metadata/model/package-summary.html} org.apache.archiva.metadata.model}} package, |
| or the {{{./metadata/metadata-model/index.html} metadata-model}} module. |
| |
| * Metadata Repository API |
| |
| The metadata repository API is responsible for accessing the metadata repository and persisting changes. This is |
| handled by the {{{./apidocs/org/apache/archiva/metadata/repository/MetadataRepository.html} MetadataRepository}} |
| class. |
| |
| More information can be found in the {{{./metadata/metadata-repository-api/index.html} metadata-repository-api}} |
| module. |
| |
| * Persistence |
| |
| Currently, the only implementation of persistence for the metadata content is a flat-file option using Java |
| properties. The code is note yet production quality. You can find out more in the: |
| {{{./apidocs/org/apache/archiva/metadata/repository/file/FileMetadataRepository.html} FileMetadataRepository}} |
| class. |
