Receive and process Amazon S3 event notifications by using an Amazon SDK.

The following code example shows how to work with S3 event notifications in an object-oriented way.

This example show how to process S3 notification event by using Amazon SQS.

/** * This method receives S3 event notifications by using an SqsAsyncClient. * After the client receives the messages it deserializes the JSON payload and logs them. It uses * the S3EventNotification class (part of the S3 event notification API for Java) to deserialize * the JSON payload and access the messages in an object-oriented way. * * @param queueUrl The URL of the AWS SQS queue that receives the S3 event notifications. * @see <a href="https://sdk.amazonaws.com/java/api/latest/software/amazon/awssdk/eventnotifications/s3/model/package-summary.html">S3EventNotification API</a>. * <p> * To use S3 event notification serialization/deserialization to objects, add the following * dependency to your Maven pom.xml file. * <dependency> * <groupId>software.amazon.awssdk</groupId> * <artifactId>s3-event-notifications</artifactId> * <version><LATEST></version> * </dependency> * <p> * The S3 event notification API became available with version 2.25.11 of the Java SDK. * <p> * This example shows the use of the API with AWS SQS, but it can be used to process S3 event notifications * in AWS SNS or AWS Lambda as well. * <p> * Note: The S3EventNotification class does not work with messages routed through AWS EventBridge. */ static void processS3Events(String bucketName, String queueUrl, String queueArn) { try { // Configure the bucket to send Object Created and Object Tagging notifications to an existing SQS queue. s3Client.putBucketNotificationConfiguration(b -> b .notificationConfiguration(ncb -> ncb .queueConfigurations(qcb -> qcb .events(Event.S3_OBJECT_CREATED, Event.S3_OBJECT_TAGGING) .queueArn(queueArn))) .bucket(bucketName) ).join(); triggerS3EventNotifications(bucketName); // Wait for event notifications to propagate.
