S3 WebCache Maven Plugin

S3 WebCache Maven Plugin uploads the static files from the src/main/webapp directory of a Java Web Application to S3, which can then be placed behind CloudFront to use as a CDN.

The purpose of this plugin is to make the use of a CDN for you static assets automatic when deploying a maven webapp.

Installation

Download the source code and run mvn install to add the plugin to your local repository.

Setup

Add the following lines to your pom.xml (with the correct values of course).

<properties>
	<aws.accessKey>IASDHASDHASIDHWERBW2</aws.accessKey>
	<aws.secretKey>eptWdHgsN4XU0N4SFlpZvzikGkTFnGF/nl/mEAhm</aws.secretKey>
	<aws.bucketName>data.fs.mycompany</aws.bucketName>
</properties>

Then in the build section of your pom.xml add the plugin:

<plugin>
 	<groupId>com.cleanenergyexperts</groupId>
	<artifactId>s3-webcache-maven-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>0.0.5-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<configuration>
		<accessKey>${aws.accessKey}</accessKey>
		<secretKey>${aws.secretKey}</secretKey>
		<bucketName>${aws.bucketName}</bucketName>
		<digestType>none</digestType> <!-- none,md5,sha1,sha256,sha384,sha512 -->
		<contentEncoding>plain</contentEncoding> <!-- plain,gzip -->
		<versionKey>${project.timestamp}</versionKey>
		<includes>
			<include>**/*.gif</include>

			<include>**/*.js</include>
			<include>**/*.css</include>
		</includes>

		</excludes>
	</configuration>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<goals>
				<goal>upload</goal>
			</goals>
			<phase>prepare-package</phase>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>

Usage

To upload your files to AWS S3 after completing setup there are two options:

1. Manual: Run mvn s3-webcache:upload.

2. Automated: The setup above is already configured to run during the build. Typically, this is done in a profile for only certain environments.
