AWS S3 Java SDK - Download file help

Question

The code below only works for downloading text files from a bucket in S3. This does not work for an image. Is there an easier way to manage downloads/types using the AWS S

Answer 1

There is even much simpler way to get this. I used below snippet. Got reference from http://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/radosgw/s3/java/

AmazonS3 s3client = AmazonS3ClientBuilder.standard()
                .withCredentials(new AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(credentials)).withRegion(Regions.US_EAST_1).build();

s3client.getObject(
                new GetObjectRequest("nomad-prop-pics", "Documents/1.pdf"),
                new File("D:\\Eka-Contract-Physicals-Dev\\Contracts-Physicals\\utility-service\\downlods\\1.pdf")
    );

Answer 2

Instead of Reader and Writer classes you should be using InputStream and OutputStream classes:

InputStream reader = new BufferedInputStream(
   object.getObjectContent());
File file = new File("localFilename");      
OutputStream writer = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));

int read = -1;

while ( ( read = reader.read() ) != -1 ) {
    writer.write(read);
}

writer.flush();
writer.close();
reader.close();

Answer 3

Though the code written in Mauricio's answer will work - and his point about streams is of course correct - Amazon offers a quicker way to save files in their SDK. I don't know if it wasn't available in 2011 or not, but it is now.

AmazonS3Client s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(myCredentials);

File localFile = new File("localFilename");

ObjectMetadata object = s3Client.getObject(new GetObjectRequest("bucket", "s3FileName"), localFile);

Answer 4

Eyals answer gets you half way there but its not all that clear so I will clarify.

AmazonS3Client s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(myCredentials);

//This is where the downloaded file will be saved
File localFile = new File("localFilename");

//This returns an ObjectMetadata file but you don't have to use this if you don't want 
s3Client.getObject(new GetObjectRequest(bucketName, id.getId()), localFile);

//Now your file will have your image saved 
boolean success = localFile.exists() && localFile.canRead();

Use java.nio.file.Files to copy S3Object to local file.

public File getFile(String fileName) throws Exception {
    if (StringUtils.isEmpty(fileName)) {
        throw new Exception("file name can not be empty");
    }
    S3Object s3Object = amazonS3.getObject("bucketname", fileName);
    if (s3Object == null) {
        throw new Exception("Object not found");
    }
    File file = new File("you file path");
    Files.copy(s3Object.getObjectContent(), file.toPath());
    inputStream.close();
    return file;
}
