My mule application writes json record to a kinesis stream. I use KPL producer library. When run locally, it picks AWS credentials from .aws/credentials and writes record to kinesis successfully.
However, when I deploy my application to Cloudhub, it throws AmazonClientException, obviously due to not having access to any of directories that DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain class supports. (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/com/amazonaws/auth/DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain.html)
This is how I attach credentials and it looks locally in .aws/credentials:
config.setCredentialsProvider( new
DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain());
I couldn't figure out a way to provide credentials explicitly using my-app.properies file.
Then I tried to create a separate configuration file with getters/setters. set access key and private key as private and then impement a getter:
public AWSCredentialsProvider getCredentials() {
if(accessKey == null || secretKey == null) {
return new DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain();
}
return new StaticCredentialsProvider(new BasicAWSCredentials(getAccessKey(), getSecretKey()));
}
}
This was intended to be used instead of DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain class this way---
config.setCredentialsProvider(new AWSConfig().getCredentials());
Still throws the same error when deployed. The following repo states that it is possible to provide explicit credentials. I need help to figure out how because I can't find a proper documentation / example. https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-producer/blob/master/java/amazon-kinesis-producer-sample/src/com/amazonaws/services/kinesis/producer/sample/SampleProducer.java
