We need this patched version of commons-vfs because some concurrency issues could be solved only internally

TODO for branch-2.3.x development

1. Total refactoring for package names - move everything into com.github
2. Merge changes back to commons-vfs project

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://simple-bucket/test-folder/");
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

For running tests you need active credentials for AWS. You can specify them as

1. Shell environment properties

   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=AAAAAAA
   export AWS_SECRET_KEY=SSSSSSS
   

   And run maven build with profile travis-ci mvn test -Ptravis-ci

2. Or you can update your settings.xml file with default or profile's properties

    <properties>
        <aws.accessKey>AAAAAAAAAAA</aws.accessKey>
        <aws.secretKey>SSSSSSSSSSS</aws.secretKey>
    </properties>
   

Make sure that you never commit your credentials!
