This is a sample that demonstrates how to make basic requests to multiple services using the AWS SDK for Java.

• You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account.
• Requires the AWS SDK for Java. For more information on the AWS SDK for Java, see http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforjava.
• You must be signed up for the following services:

  • Amazon SimpleDB. For more information, see http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb.
  • Amazon S3. For more information, see http://aws.amazon.com/s3.

The basic steps for running the AWS Console sample are:

1. Create a credentials file in the location ~/.aws with name "credentials".

2. Under the default profile fill in your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key:

[default]
aws_access_key_id =
aws_secret_access_key =

3. Save the file.

4. Run the AwsConsoleApp.java file, located in the same directory as the properties file. The sample prints information to the standard output.

NOTE: The sample also includes an Ant build.xml file to run the sample.
