Changes in the S3 Event Notifications API from version 1 to version 2

This topic details the changes in the S3 Event Notifications API from version 1.x (v1) to version 2 .x (v2) of the AWS SDK for Java.

High-level changes

Structural changes

V1 uses static inner classes for EventNotificationRecord types and their attributes, whereas v2 uses separate public classes for EventNotificationRecord types.

Naming convention changes

In v1, attribute class names include the suffix Entity, whereas v2 omits this suffix for simpler naming: for example, eventData instead of eventDataEntity.

Changes in dependencies, packages and class names

In v1, S3 Event Notification API classes are transitively imported with along with the S3 module (artifactId aws-java-sdk-s3). However, in v2, you need to add a dependency on the s3-event-notifications artifact.

Migrate S3EventNotification using the aws-lambda-java-events library.

If you use aws-lambda-java-events to work with S3 notification events within a Lambda function, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest 3.x.x version. Recent versions eliminate all dependencies on AWS SDK for Java 1.x from the S3 event notification API.
