Uploading artifacts with api

[Scalpa01]

Hi,

I am creating a plug-in for staging and promoting artifacts.  My problem is that when I promote, I need to use the upload artifact.   I just cant seem to get some java code to work to call the api for uploading a file.

The mounting point is /service/local/artifact/maven/content.  I tried things like :

String url = "http://localhost:8085/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/content";
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
PostMethod method = new PostMethod( url );

method.addParameter( "r", "releases" );
method.addParameter( "g", "com.ericsson.test" );
method.addParameter( "a", "Epackage-jar1" );
method.addParameter( "v", "1.1" );
method.addParameter( "p", "jar" );
method.addParameter( "c", "" );
method.addParameter( "extension", "jar" );

 File artifact = new File ("aFilePath");
 method.setFileData(artifact );

client.executeMethod( method );


But I keep getting errors.  I know how to call the api from the command line the the --data and sending some json, but with Java, I cant find a way to send a payload to the api.

If anyone has something that might help me, it would be very appreciated.

Thanks

You need multipart upload.

Look into this IT helper class:
https://github.com/sonatype/nexus/blob/master/nexus/nexus-test-harness/nexus-test-harness-launcher/src/main/java/org/sonatype/nexus/test/utils/DeployUtils.java

Hint: deployUsingGavWithRest method is what you are looking for.

Thanks,
~t~

Sorry, just gonna specify some things.  Trying to use a POST and the line

method.addParameter( "extension", "jar" );

should be

method.addParameter( "e", "jar" );

Thanks.  Modified a little bit of the code and got it to work perfectly.  Would have never found out by myself how to do this.

Is there a wiki page detailing using the rest api for uploads?

We're thinking of using nexus OSS in a unique way...
