Archiva upload does not reflect in repository

Question

I'm using apache archiva and when I upload an artifact into any repository it does not reflect in the repository. It doesn't get saved anywhere. Basically nothing happens. What could the problem be?

Logs:

Answer 1

The file upload using archiva is totally non-intuitive, it took me about two hours to finally work it out:

1. Fill in the form
2. Click the Choose File button and find your .jar
3. Click Start Upload button
4. IMPORTANT!!!! Then click the Save Files button (don't ask why this extra button is needed)
