+Using Archiva Web Services
+
+ Web services is a new feature for 1.2. Archiva exposes two types of services: administrative and search. A sample client
+ that shows how to access these services is provided in the source code. You can check out the module for the sample client at:
+
++----+
+http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/archiva/tags/archiva-1.2/archiva-modules/archiva-web/archiva-xmlrpc/archiva-xmlrpc-client/
++----+
+
+ The SampleClient class shows how to connect to and invoke the Archiva web services. To execute the sample client, edit
+ the following configuration in the archiva-xmlrpc-client module's pom.xml:
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+<project>
+ ...
+ <build>
+ <plugins>
+ <plugin>
+ <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
+ <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+ <configuration>
+ <executable>java</executable>
+ <mainClass>org.apache.archiva.web.xmlrpc.client.SampleClient</mainClass>
+ <arguments>
+ <!--
+ URL: ex. http://127.0.0.1:9091/xmlrpc
+ USERNAME & PASSWORD: Archiva credentials
+ -->
+ <argument>http://127.0.0.1:9091/xmlrpc</argument>
+ <argument>admin</argument>
+ <argument>${password}</argument>
+ </arguments>
+ </configuration>
+ </plugin>
+ </plugins>
+ </build>
+</project>
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ In the first \<argument\>, set the url of the Archiva instance you are running but make sure that you have </xmlrpc> appended
+ at the end. For example if your Archiva instance is running in localhost and port 8080, then set it to http://localhost:8080/archiva/xmlrpc.
+
+ The second \<argument\> corresponds to the username of the existing Archiva user that will be used to access the services while
+ the last \<argument\> is where you set the user's password.
+
+ After configuring the pom, you can now run the sample client by executing <<mvn exec:java>> in the command-line. You should be
+ able to see the list of managed and remote repositories, the list of database and repository consumers and more printed on the
+ command-line.
+
+* Administration Service
+
+ In order for a user to be able to access the Administration services, the user must have a <<System Administrator>> role in Archiva.
+
+ The Administration Service exposes the following methods:
+
+ [[1]] Boolean executeRepositoryScanner( String repoId ) - triggers the repository scanner to scan the specified repository.
+
+ [[2]] Boolean executeDatabaseScanner() - triggers the database scanner to be executed.
+
+ [[3]] List\<String\> getAllDatabaseConsumers() - retrieves all the Archiva database consumers associated with the database scanning.
+
+ [[4]] Boolean configureDatabaseConsumer( String consumerId, boolean enable ) - enables or disables the specified database consumer.
+
+ [[5]] List\<String\> getAllRepositoryConsumers() - retrieves all the Archiva repository consumers associated with the repository scanning.
+
+ [[6]] Boolean configureRepositoryConsumer( String repoId, String consumerId, boolean enable ) - enables or disables the specified
+ repository consumer.
+
+ [[7]] List\<ManagedRepository\> getAllManagedRepositories() - retrieves all the managed repositories in Archiva.
+
+ [[8]] List\<RemoteRepository\> getAllRemoteRepositories() - retrieves all the remote repositories in Archiva.
+
+ [[9]] Boolean deleteArtifact( String repoId, String groupId, String artifactId, String version ) - deletes the specified artifact from
+ the repository.
+
+* Search Service
+
+ To access the Search Service, the user must have at least a <<Repository Observer>> role.
+
+ The Search Service exposes the following methods:
+
+ [[1]] List\<Artifact\> quickSearch( String queryString ) - search for the specified term. This behaves just like Archiva's Quick Search
+ from the web app.
+
+ [[2]] List\<Artifact\> getArtifactByChecksum( String checksum ) - search for artifact(s) matching the specified checksum. This behaves like
+ the Find Artifact from the web app.
+
+ [[3]] List\<Artifact\> getArtifactVersions( String groupId, String artifactId ) - retrieves all available versions of the artifact.
+
+ [[4]] List\<Artifact\> getArtifactVersionsByDate( String groupId, String artifactId, String version, Date since ) - <not yet implemented>
+
+ [[5]] List\<Dependency\> getDependencies( String groupId, String artifactId, String version ) - retrieves all the dependencies of the specified
+ artifact. This is the equivalent of the Dependencies tab in the Artifact Browse.
+
+ [[6]] List\<Artifact\> getDependencyTree( String groupId, String artifactId, String version ) - <not yet implemented>
+
+ [[7]] List\<Artifact\> getDependees( String groupId, String artifactId, String version ) - retrieves all the artifacts with a
+ dependency on the specified artifact. This is the equivalent of the Used By tab in the Artifact Browse.
