== Spring Cloud Alibaba Cloud OSS

OSS（Object Storage Service）is a storage product on Alibaba Cloud. Spring Cloud Alibaba Cloud OSS provides the commercialized storage service in conformity with Spring Cloud specifications. We provide easy-to-use APIs and supports the integration of Resource in the Spring framework.

=== How to Introduce Spring Cloud Alibaba Cloud OSS

We’ve released Spring Cloud Alibaba version 0.2.1. You will need to add dependency management POM first.

[source,xml]
----
<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-alibaba-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>0.2.2.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
----

Next we need to introduce Spring Cloud Alibaba Cloud OSS Starter.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-alicloud-oss</artifactId>
</dependency>

=== How to Use OSS API

==== Configure OSS

Before you start to use Spring Cloud Alibaba Cloud OSS, please add the following configurations in application.properties.

[source,properties]
----
spring.cloud.alicloud.access-key=Your Alibaba Cloud AK
spring.cloud.alicloud.secret-key=Your Alibaba Cloud SK
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.endpoint=***.aliyuncs.com
----

access-key and secret-key is the AK/SK of your Alibaba Cloud account. If you don’t have one, please register an account first, and log on to https://usercenter.console.aliyun.com/#/manage/ak[Alibaba Cloud AK/SK Management] to get your AccessKey ID and Access Key Secret . If you haven’t create the AccessKeys, click “Create AccessKey” to create one.

For endpoint information, please refer to the OSS https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/31837.html[Documentation] and get the endpoint for your region.


==== Introduce OSS API

The OSS API of Spring Cloud Alibaba Cloud OSS is based on the official OSS SDK, and includes APIs for uploading, downloading, viewing files.

Here is a simple application that uses the OSS API.

[source,java]
----
@SpringBootApplication
public class OssApplication {

    @Autowired
    private OSS ossClient;

    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String home() {
        ossClient.putObject("bucketName", "fileName", new FileInputStream("/your/local/file/path"));
        return "upload success";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException {
        SpringApplication.run(OssApplication.class, args);
    }

}
----

Before you upload your files, please  https://account.aliyun.com/register/register.htm?spm=5176.8142029.388261.26.e9396d3eaYK2sG&oauth_callback=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aliyun.com%2F[Register an Alibaba Cloud Account]. If you already have one, please  https://common-buy.aliyun.com/?spm=5176.8465980.unusable.dopen.4cdf1450rg8Ujb&commodityCode=oss#/open[Sign up for OSS].

Log on to the https://oss.console.aliyun.com/overview[OSS Console], click “Create New Bucket” and create a bucket as instructed. Replace the bucket name in the “bucketname” of the previous code with your new bucket name.  "fileName” can be any name you like, and "/your/local/file/path” can be any local file path. Next you can run `curl http://127.0.0.1:port number/ to upload your files, and you will see your file on the https://oss.console.aliyun.com/overview[OSS Console].

For more instructions on OSS APIs, please refer to https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/32008.html[OSS SDK Documentation].

=== Integrate with the Resource Specifications of Spring

Spring Cloud Alibaba Cloud OSS integrates the Resource of the Spring framework, which allows you to use the OSS resources easily.

The following is a simple example of how to use Resource.

[source,java]
----
@SpringBootApplication
public class OssApplication {

    @Value("oss://bucketName/fileName")
    private Resource file;

    @GetMapping("/file")
    public String fileResource() {
        try {
            return "get file resource success. content: " + StreamUtils.copyToString(
                file.getInputStream(), Charset.forName(CharEncoding.UTF_8));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return "get resource fail: " + e.getMessage();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException {
        SpringApplication.run(OssApplication.class, args);
    }

}
----

NOTE: A prerequisite for the above sample is that you need to have a bucket named “bucketName” on OSS, and you have a file named “fileName” in this bucket.

=== Use STS Authentication

In addition to AccessKeys, Spring Cloud Alibaba Cloud OSS also supports STS authentication. STS is an authentication method with temporary security tokens, and is usually used for a third party to access its resources temporarily.

For a third party to access resources temporarily, it only needs to complete the following configurations.

[source,properties]
----
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.authorization-mode=STS
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.endpoint=***.aliyuncs.com
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.sts.access-key=Your authenticated AK
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.sts.secret-key=Your authenticated SK
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.sts.security-token=Your authenticated ST
----

Among which, spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.authorization-mode is the enumeration type. Fill in STS here means that STS authentication is used. For endpoint information, refer to the https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/31837.html[OSS Documentation] and fill in the endpoint for your region.

Access-key, secret-key and the security-token need to be issued by the authentication side. For more information about STS, refer to https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/31867.html[STS Documentation].

=== More Configurations for the Client

In addition to basic configurations, Spring Cloud Alibaba Cloud OSS also supports many other configurations, which are also included in the application.properties file.

Here are some examples.

[source,properties]
----
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.authorization-mode=STS
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.endpoint=***.aliyuncs.com
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.sts.access-key=Your authenticated AK
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.sts.secret-key=Your authenticated SK
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.sts.security-token=Your authenticated ST

spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.config.connection-timeout=3000
spring.cloud.alicloud.oss.config.max-connections=1000
----

For more configurations, refer to  the table at the bottom of https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/32010.html[OSSClient Configurations].

NOTE: In most cases, you need to connect the parameter names with “-” for the parameters in the table of https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/32010.html[OSSClient Configurations] with “-”, and all letters should be in lowercase. For example, ConnectionTimeout should be changed to connection-timeout.
