This guide provides step-by-step instructions for integrating the Amazon S3 adapter with the Firefly ECM Library.
The S3 adapter provides document storage capabilities using Amazon S3 as the backend. It supports:
- Document CRUD operations
- Binary content storage and retrieval
- Metadata management using S3 object metadata
- Folder organization using S3 key prefixes
- Document versioning using S3 versioning
- Multipart uploads for large files
- Server-side encryption
- Multiple storage classes
Before integrating the S3 adapter, ensure you have:
- AWS Account: An active AWS account with S3 access
- S3 Bucket: A dedicated S3 bucket for document storage
- IAM Permissions: Appropriate IAM permissions for S3 operations
- Java 21+: The ECM library requires Java 21 or higher
- Spring Boot 3.0+: Compatible Spring Boot version
Add the S3 adapter dependency to your pom.xml:
<dependencies>
<!-- Core ECM Library -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.fireflyframework</groupId>
<artifactId>fireflyframework-ecm-core</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<!-- S3 Adapter -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.fireflyframework</groupId>
<artifactId>fireflyframework-ecm-adapter-s3</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>Set the following environment variables:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-key
export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
export S3_BUCKET_NAME=your-ecm-bucketFor production deployments, use IAM roles instead of access keys:
- Create an IAM role with S3 permissions
- Attach the role to your EC2 instance or EKS pod
- The adapter will automatically use the role credentials
Configure credentials in application.yml:
firefly:
ecm:
adapter:
s3:
access-key: ${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}
secret-key: ${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}
region: ${AWS_REGION}
bucket-name: ${S3_BUCKET_NAME}Add the following to your application.yml:
firefly:
ecm:
adapter-type: s3
adapter:
s3:
bucket-name: ${S3_BUCKET_NAME:firefly-ecm-documents}
region: ${AWS_REGION:us-east-1}
path-prefix: documents/

firefly:
