Method Detail

isIndexable

default boolean isIndexable()

Returns true, if this repository has a mechanism for indexes

Returns:

true, if this repository is indexable, otherwise false.

isFileBased

default boolean isFileBased()

Returns true, if this repository type is storing its artifacts on the filesystem.

Returns:

true, if this is a file based repository, otherwise false.

canBlockRedeployments

default boolean canBlockRedeployments()

Returns true, if this repository allows to block redeployments to prevent overriding released artifacts

Returns:

true, if this repo can block redeployments, otherwise false.

isScannable

default boolean isScannable()

Returns true, if the artifacts can be scanned for metadata retrieval or maintenance tasks

Returns:

true, if this repository can be scanned regularily, otherwise false.

allowsFailover

default boolean allowsFailover()

Returns true, if this repository can use failover repository urls

Returns:

true, if there is a failover mechanism for repository access, otherwise false.

supportedReleaseSchemes

Set<ReleaseScheme> supportedReleaseSchemes()

Returns the release schemes this repository type can handle

supportedLayouts

Set<String> supportedLayouts()

Returns the layouts this repository type can provide

Returns:

The list of layouts supported by this repository.

customCapabilities

Set<String> customCapabilities()

Returns additional capabilities, that this repository type implements.

Returns:

A list of custom capabilities.

supportedFeatures

Set<String> supportedFeatures()

Returns the supported features this repository type supports. This method returns string that corresponds to fully qualified class names. We use string representation to allow implementations provide their own feature implementations if necessary and to avoid class errors.

Returns:

The list of supported features as string values.
