search via rest api

[Jae Gangemi]

hello -

  i was wondering if anything existed in the 3.2.x series that offered anything along the lines of the lucene search plugin the 2.x series offers.

  we are leveraging this endpoint specifically: /lucene/search

  if that doesn't exist, could i use an aether library instead of a rest endpoint?

  thanks!

No. Please follow this issue: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-11893

How exactly?

Possibly - though Aether doesn't use /lucene/search - it merely gets maven-metadata.xml to determine what is available.

I think you need to elaborate on your exact use case - preferably you do this as a comment at https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-11893.

 

  thanks!

  we use the endpoint as a way to query for the latest version of the artifact.

  i will follow along at that ticket, thanks!

For a few different reasons, that is not a good endpoint to use to detect the latest version of an artifact.

You may find this project useful: https://github.com/sonatype/artifact-resolver

You may also find this article useful: https://support.sonatype.com/hc/en-us/articles/213465488

  i've seen the resolve project and that article before.

  there seem to be conflicting pieces of documentation that say it's ok to use LATEST / RELEASE, it is ok to use them which is how i ended up with the lucene url.

  does the functionality described in the article exist in nexus 3 yet? at the end of the day my requirement is to be able to resolve the latest released version of an artifact based soley on groupId, artifactId, and maybe a classifier in order to switch over to nexus 3.

The functionality exists, but REST API does not. To mimic the functionality, you need to access maven-metadata.xml files specific to Maven 2. This is how artifact resolver works against Nexus 3 or 2.

at the end of the day my requirement is to be able to resolve the latest released version of an artifact based soley on groupId, artifactId, and maybe a classifier in order to switch over to nexus 3.

Then I humbly suggest using a tool like artifact-resolver or that style of implementation until such time we complete the implementation of https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-11893 .
