[shrinkwrap-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (SHRINKWRAP-389) Allow ShrinkWrap to overwrite existing ArchivePaths

[Andrew Rubinger (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-389?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12727727#comment-12727727 ] 

Andrew Rubinger commented on SHRINKWRAP-389:
--------------------------------------------

I'll also ask for potentially two solutions:

1) Given a clean slate, how would you implement ShrinkWrap to handle overwrites?  Allow?  Separate method?  Config?  Hybird of both?  This should be the basis for a possible SW 2.0 when we go to spec.
2) What would you do that *is* backwards-compatible in terms of API?

> SHRINKWRAP-329 created a fail-fast (as opposed to silent no-op) approach to encountering the following case:
> {code}        // Create the new archive
>         final Archive<?> archive = createNewArchive();
>         // Put in an asset
>         final ArchivePath path = ArchivePaths.create("testPath");
>         archive.add(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, path);
>         // Now try again with a new asset, and this should fail
>         try {
>             archive.add(new StringAsset("failContent"), path);
>         } catch (final IllegalOverwriteException ioe) {
>             // Good
>             return;
>         }{code}
> We need a feature now to disable this, effectively a boolean flag for each of the archive "add" methods to allow overwriting.  Will encompass API changes.
