Amazon S3 driver for VFS (Apache Commons Virtual File System)

This code is based on http://code.google.com/p/vfs-s3/ which is no longer supported.

It provides S3 support for Commons VFS.

Bootstraping with Spring

The class com.scoyo.commons.vfs.S3Util can be used to easily bootstrap the vfs-s3 provider with the Spring Framework:

<bean id="S3Initializer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean" lazy-init="false">
	<property name="targetClass" value="com.scoyo.commons.vfs.S3Util" />
	<property name="targetMethod" value="initS3Provider" />
	<property name="arguments">
		<list>
			<value>${aws.key-id}</value>
			<value>${aws.key}</value>
		</list>
	</property>
</bean>

After that you can use VFS as with any other file system.

Sample Java Code

// Create bucket
FileSystemManager fsManager = VFS.getManager();
FileObject dir = fsManager.resolveFile("s3://simpe-bucket");
dir.createFolder();

// Upload file to S3
FileObject dest = fsManager.resolveFile("s3://test-bucket/backup.zip");
FileObject src = fsManager.resolveFile(new File("/path/to/local/file.zip").getAbsolutePath());
dest.copyFrom(src, Selectors.SELECT_SELF);

Running the tests

Tu run the tests with Maven you have to edit the

src/test/resources/config.properties

file. Fill your AWS Key and Id. Then change the bucket name, because it must be globally unique (you can just add a suffix). Finally you have to provide the path to backup.zip which is in the same directory.

Make sure that you never commit your credentials!
