HTTP Status 409 - The target deployment path [...] does not match the POM's expected path prefix

Question

I use Artifactory as a Maven Repository, on which I'm not admin (corporate repo). I'm trying to use XmlSchema (through many dependencies of appfuse-basic-struts archetype) but I'm face of an issue that I am not able to understand when I run mvn package:

HTTP Status 409 - The target deployment path 'org/apache/ws/commons/XmlSchema/1.1/XmlSchema-1.1.pom' does not match the POM's expected path prefix 'org/apache/ws/commons/XmlSchema/SNAPSHOT'. Please verify your POM content for correctness and make sure the source path is a valid Maven repository root path.

type Status report

Please verify your POM content for correctness and make sure the source path is a valid Maven repository root path.). Apache Tomcat/6.0.18

Even in transitive dependencies, I don't find it. Can anyone explain me what the trouble ?

I found this post Using Maven-3 Got Http 409 error when re-deploy with archiva but it does not seem to match my issue.

EDIT 1 : this work quite well when I don't use my corporate repo.

EDIT 2 : Here the view of the repo via http :

Answer 1

The transitive dependencies have practically been poisoned.

The best thing you can do is check if the original POM of 'XmlSchema' has been publish with the version 'SNAPSHOT' or not. If it has, ask the project maintainers to correct this mistake and re-publish the POM; If it hasn't been published this way, remove the incorrect POM file and make sure that you resolve it again from a healthy source.

If both of these options aren't applicable, you can download the POM file, edit to correct and redeploy it to your local repository

Answer 2

I had this same problem and I was able to get around it by checking the "Supress POM Consistency Checks" check box in the Artifactory remote repository settings.
