SimpleDB functionality doesn't work

[Josh-Tilles]

I know it's probably not a surprise that SimpleDB doesn't work —given that you don't include a MVS in the readme— but I figured it might be useful for you to track the task in an issue anyway.

(require '[amazonica.core :refer [defcredentials])
(defcredentials "AccessKeyID" "SecretKey")
(require '[amazonica.aws.simpledb :as sdb])
(sdb/put-attributes "domain"
                    "devapiTue Aug 05 23:24:36 UTC 2014"
                    [{:name "args", :value ["Test message"]}
                     {:name "instant", :value #inst "2014-08-05T23:24:36.701-00:00"}
                     {:name "ns", :value "some-api.main"}
                     {:name "file", :value "/tmp/form-init6934682238825582339.clj"}
                     {:name "hostname", :value "devapi"}
                     {:name "output", :value "2014-Aug-05 23:24:36 +0000 devapi WARN [some-api.main] - Test message"}
                     {:name "prefix", :value "2014-Aug-05 23:24:36 +0000 devapi WARN [some-api.main]"}
                     {:name "level", :value :warn}
                     {:name "line", :value nil}
                     {:name "ap-config", :value {}}
                     {:name "error?", :value false}
                     {:name "throwable", :value nil}
                     {:name "timestamp", :value "2014-Aug-05 23:24:36 +0000"}
                     {:name "message", :value "Test message"}])

And the error is:

IllegalArgumentException Could not determine best method to invoke for put-attributes using arguments ("spike_for_logging" "devapiTue Aug 05 23:25:28 UTC 2014" ({:name "args", :value "[\"Test message\"]"} {:name "instant", :value "Tue Aug 05 23:25:28 UTC 2014"} {:name "ns", :value "some-api.main"} {:name "file", :value "/tmp/form-init6934682238825582339.clj"} {:name "hostname", :value "devapi"} {:name "output", :value "2014-Aug-05 23:25:28 +0000 devapi WARN [some-api.main] - Test message"} {:name "prefix", :value "2014-Aug-05 23:25:28 +0000 devapi WARN [some-api.main]"} {:name "level", :value ":warn"} {:name "line", :value ""} {:name "ap-config", :value "{}"} {:name "error?", :value "false"} {:name "throwable", :value ""} {:name "timestamp", :value "2014-Aug-05 23:25:28 +0000"} {:name "message", :value "Test message"}))  amazonica.core/intern-function/fn--11248 (core.clj:780)

In case you fix this before I get around to submitting a pull request, you might find this snippet of code useful:

(defn verbosify-map-for-simpledb [m]
  (for [[k v] m]
    (hash-map :name (name k), :value v)))

Feel free to come up with a better name though 😜

You sort of have to have the javadocs open when you use amazonica.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/index.html

Basically, any Java methods that take j.u.Collections as args take the corresponding Clojure data structure. So a List or Collection will take a Clojure list, seq, or vector. Maps take Clojure maps.

If the Java method takes some kind of aws-sdk Javabean as an argument, then you pass a Clojure map with keys named according to the method names. See the README.md for more details.

(sdb/put-attributes :domain-name "domain"
                    :item-name "my-item"
                    :attributes [{:name "foo"
                                     :value "bar"}
                                     {:name "baz"
                                       :value 42}])

My mistake—thank you for explaining.
