| == HTTP wrapper service |
| |
| When you install the Apache Karaf Cave Server, it starts a HTTP service wrapper. |
| |
| It means that all artifacts and repository metadata presents in local repositories are exposed over HTTP. |
| |
| === Repository metadata access |
| |
| Assuming that you have the following repositories: |
| |
| ---- |
| karaf@root()> cave:repositories |
| Name | Location |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| my-repository | /opt/apache-karaf-4.0.0/data/cave/my-repository |
| ---- |
| |
| You can access the repository metadata using the following URL in your favorite browser: |
| |
| ---- |
| http://localhost:8181/cave/http/my-repository-repository.xml |
| ---- |
| |
| NB: the port 8181 is the default one of the Apache Karaf HTTP service. |
| |
| You can see that the URL follows the format: |
| |
| ---- |
| http://[cave_server_hostname]:[http_service_port]/cave/http/[cave_repository_name]-repository.xml |
| ---- |
| |
| It means that you can register the repositories on remote Apache Karaf instances. |
