A bucket is a container used to store objects. Every object is stored in a bucket. This topic describes how to query the region of a bucket.
Usage notes
In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. To access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region, use an internal endpoint. For details about supported regions and endpoints, see OSS regions and endpoints.
In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.
In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Configuration examples for common scenarios.
To query the region of a bucket, you must have the
oss:GetBucketLocationpermission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.
Sample code
The following sample code shows how to query the region or location of a bucket:
import com.aliyun.oss.*;
import com.aliyun.oss.common.auth.*;
import com.aliyun.oss.common.comm.SignVersion;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Specify the endpoint of an OSS-supported region. For example, https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com.
String endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run this code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are set.
EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = CredentialsProviderFactory.newEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// Specify the bucket name. For example, examplebucket.
String bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Specify the region where the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is in the China (Hangzhou) region, set Region to cn-hangzhou.
String region = "cn-hangzhou";
// Create an OSSClient instance.
// When the OSSClient instance is no longer needed, call the shutdown method to release resources.
ClientBuilderConfiguration clientBuilderConfiguration = new ClientBuilderConfiguration();
clientBuilderConfiguration.setSignatureVersion(SignVersion.V4);
OSS ossClient = OSSClientBuilder.create()
.endpoint(endpoint)
.credentialsProvider(credentialsProvider)
.clientConfiguration(clientBuilderConfiguration)
.region(region)
.build();
try {
String location = ossClient.getBucketLocation(bucketName);
System.out.println(location);
} catch (OSSException oe) {
System.out.println("Caught an OSSException, which means your request made it to OSS, "
+ "but was rejected with an error response for some reason.");
System.out.println("Error Message:" + oe.getErrorMessage());
System.out.println("Error Code:" + oe.getErrorCode());
System.out.println("Request ID:" + oe.getRequestId());
System.out.println("Host ID:" + oe.getHostId());
} catch (ClientException ce) {
System.out.println("Caught an ClientException, which means the client encountered "
+ "a serious internal problem while trying to communicate with OSS, "
+ "such as not being able to access the network.");
System.out.println("Error Message:" + ce.getMessage());
} finally {
if (ossClient != null) {
ossClient.shutdown();
}
}
}
