Aws.java program:

package aws;

    //String fil = args[1];
   // StringBuilder filename =  new StringBuilder(FILEPATH);

    String filename  = "/aws/names.csv";



    File filen = new File(filename.toString());


    AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("xxxx", "yyyy");
    AmazonS3Client clnt = new AmazonS3Client(credentials);


    try {

        System.out.println("Uploading a new object to S3");


         clnt.putObject(new PutObjectRequest(
                                bucketName, keyName, filen));

    }

    catch (AmazonServiceException ase) {
        System.out.println("Caught an AmazonServiceException, which " +
                "means your request made it " +
                "to Amazon S3, but was rejected with an error response" +
                " for some reason.");
        System.out.println("Error Message:    " + ase.getMessage());
        System.out.println("HTTP Status Code: " + ase.getStatusCode());
        System.out.println("AWS Error Code:   " + ase.getErrorCode());
        System.out.println("Error Type:       " + ase.getErrorType());
        System.out.println("Request ID:       " + ase.getRequestId());
    } catch (AmazonClientException ace) {
        System.out.println("Caught an AmazonClientException, which " +
                "means the client encountered " +
                "an internal error while trying to " +
                "communicate with S3, " +
                "such as not being able to access the network.");
        System.out.println("Error Message: " + ace.getMessage());
    }




    // TODO code application logic here
}

}

when calling the program by going one level up and isseuing a command: java aws.Aws

i'm getting an error:

classpath is

.:/aws

Answer 1

I guess you should include aws-java-sdk-core-1.9.23.jar also in your /aws folder.

com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentials and com.amazonaws.auth.BasicAWSCredentials resides in that particular jar.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
