DynamoDB examples using SDK for Java 2.x - AWS SDK Code Examples

There are more AWS SDK examples available in the AWS Doc SDK Examples GitHub repo.

DynamoDB examples using SDK for Java 2.x

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS SDK for Java 2.x with DynamoDB.

Basics are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Scenarios are code examples that show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within a service or combined with other AWS services.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

Get started

The following code examples show how to get started using DynamoDB.

Basics

The following code example shows how to:

  • Create a table that can hold movie data.

  • Put, get, and update a single movie in the table.

  • Write movie data to the table from a sample JSON file.

  • Query for movies that were released in a given year.

  • Scan for movies that were released in a range of years.

  • Delete a movie from the table, then delete the table.

Create a DynamoDB table.

// Create a table with a Sort key. public static void createTable(DynamoDbClient ddb, String tableName) { DynamoDbWaiter dbWaiter = ddb.waiter(); ArrayList<AttributeDefinition> attributeDefinitions = new ArrayList<>(); // Define attributes. attributeDefinitions.add(AttributeDefinition.builder() .attributeName("year") .attributeType("N") .build()); attributeDefinitions.add(AttributeDefinition.builder() .attributeName("title") .attributeType("S") .build()); ArrayList<KeySchemaElement> tableKey = new ArrayList<>(); KeySchemaElement key = KeySchemaElement.builder() .attributeName("year") .keyType(KeyType.HASH) .build(); KeySchemaElement key2 = KeySchemaElement.builder() .attributeName("title") .keyType(KeyType.RANGE) .build(); // Add KeySchemaElement objects to the list. tableKey.add(key); tableKey.add(key2); CreateTableRequest request = CreateTableRequest.builder() .keySchema(tableKey) .provisionedThroughput(ProvisionedThroughput.builder() .readCapacityUnits(10L) .writeCapacityUnits(10L) .build()) .attributeDefinitions(attributeDefinitions) .tableName(tableName) .build(); try { CreateTableResponse response = ddb.createTable(request); DescribeTableRequest tableRequest = DescribeTableRequest.builder() .tableName(tableName) .build(); // Wait until the Amazon DynamoDB table is created. WaiterResponse<DescribeTableResponse> waiterResponse = dbWaiter.waitUntilTableExists(tableRequest); waiterResponse.matched().response().ifPresent(System.out::println); String newTable = response.tableDescription().tableName(); System.out.println("The " + newTable + " was successfully created."); } catch (DynamoDbException e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage()); System.exit(1); } }

Create a helper function to download and extract the sample JSON file.

// Load data into the table. public static void loadData(DynamoDbClient ddb, String tableName, String fileName) throws IOException { DynamoDbEnhancedClient enhancedClient = DynamoDbEnhancedClient.builder() .dynamoDbClient(ddb) .build(); DynamoDbTable<Movies> mappedTable = enhancedClient.table("Movies", TableSchema.fromBean(Movies.class)); JsonParser parser = new JsonFactory().createParser(new File(fileName)); com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode rootNode = new ObjectMapper().readTree(parser); Iterator<JsonNode> iter = rootNode.iterator(); ObjectNode currentNode; int t = 0; while (iter.hasNext()) { // Only add 200 Movies to the table. if (t == 200) break; currentNode = (ObjectNode) iter.next(); int year = currentNode.path("year").asInt(); String title = currentNode.path("title").asText(); String info = currentNode.path("info").toString(); Movies movies = new Movies(); movies.setYear(year); movies.setTitle(title); movies.setInfo(info); // Put the data into the Amazon DynamoDB Movie table. mappedTable.putItem(movies); t++; } }

Get an item from a table.

public static void getItem(DynamoDbClient ddb) { HashMap<String, AttributeValue> keyToGet = new HashMap<>(); keyToGet.put("year", AttributeValue.builder() .n("1933") .build()); keyToGet.put("title", AttributeValue.builder() .s("King Kong") .build()); GetItemRequest request = GetItemRequest.builder() .key(keyToGet) .tableName("Movies") .build(); try { Map<String, AttributeValue> returnedItem = ddb.getItem(request).item(); if (returnedItem != null) { Set<String> keys = returnedItem.keySet(); System.out.println("Amazon DynamoDB table attributes: \n"); for (String key1 : keys) { System.out.format("%s: %s\n", key1, returnedItem.get(key1).toString()); } } else { System.out.format("No item found with the key %s!\n", "year"); } } catch (DynamoDbException e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage()); System.exit(1); } }

The following code example shows how to create an AWS Step Functions state machine that invokes AWS Lambda functions in sequence.

SDK for Java 2.x

Shows how to create an AWS serverless workflow by using AWS Step Functions and the AWS SDK for Java 2.x. Each workflow step is implemented using an AWS Lambda function.

For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on GitHub.

Services used in this example
  • DynamoDB

  • Lambda

  • Amazon SES

  • Step Functions

Serverless examples

The following code example shows how to implement a Lambda function that receives an event triggered by receiving records from a DynamoDB stream. The function retrieves the DynamoDB payload and logs the record contents.
