I want to use DXA Java's latest version.

So I downloaded DXA 2.2.8 from following page.

https://github.com/sdl/dxa-web-application-java/releases/tag/DXA_2.2.8_Hotfix

Then I read following manual to know how to install DXA. It say using prepare.sh to build DXA, but there is not prepare.sh in DXA 2.2.8.

https://docs.sdl.com/784837/748553/sdl-digital-experience-accelerator-2-2/installing-the-------------dxa-java-web-application-for-------------tridion-sites

How can I install DXA 2.2.8?

When running generate-from-archetype.cmd, following error occurs.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project dxa-webapp: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.sdl.dxa:dxa-webapp:war:2.2.8: Failure to find com.sdl.dxa:dxa-tridion-provider:jar:2.2.8 in https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced.

On following URL, there is no directory '2.2.8'. Is the repository correct?

https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/sdl/dxa/dxa-tridion-provider/

  • The hotfix can we downloaded seperatly and if you have mvn installed run the generate-from-archetype github.com/sdl/dxa-web-application-java/releases/tag/… you can generate the webapp.war by running the pom.xml and deploy the webapp on tomcat to access the web application

Indeed, In DXA 2.2.8 and 2.2.9, some of the jars are not pushed to maven, It does not have a real fix just a refactoring and conflicts. You can go for DXA 2.2.5, I have answered the steps to prepare DXA 2.2.5 version from Maven, I have tested that version with 9.5 OOTB it's working fine as expected.

I have raised this to the engineering team to fix the missing maven jars.

I hope this helps.
