import com.amazonaws.AmazonServiceException; import com.amazonaws.SdkClientException; import com.amazonaws.services.s3.AmazonS3; import com.amazonaws.services.s3.AmazonS3ClientBuilder; import com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.CopyObjectRequest; add : import java.io.IOException; public class CopyObject { public static void main(String[] args) { String bucketName = "*** Bucket name ***"; String sourceKey = "*** Source object key ***"; String destinationKey = "*** Destination object key ***"; try { // This code expects that you have AWS credentials set up per: // https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/setup-credentials.html AmazonS3 s3Client = AmazonS3ClientBuilder.standard() .enableUseArnRegion() .build(); // Copy the object into a new object in the same bucket. CopyObjectRequest copyObjectRequest = new CopyObjectRequest(sourceKey, destinationKey); s3Client.copyObject(copyObjectRequest); CopyObjectRequest copyObjectRequest = CopyObjectRequest.builder() .sourceKey(sourceKey) .destinationKey(destKey) .build(); } catch (AmazonServiceException e) { // The call was transmitted successfully, but Amazon S3 couldn't process // it, so it returned an error response. e.printStackTrace(); } catch (SdkClientException e) { // Amazon S3 couldn't be contacted for a response, or the client // couldn't parse the response from Amazon S3. e.printStackTrace(); } } }
