Replacing AwsClientProviderImpl using @Provider annotation

[almeicar]

Hey!
We have created a custom extension in order to override the AwsClientProviderImpl using the @Provider(isDefault = true) annotation. However this approach is not working and it seems our version is not being picked up.
Is there something we're missing or should this be done in a different way?

@Provider(isDefault = true) public AwsClientProvider awsClientProvider(ServiceExtensionContext context) { ... }

please carefully read the documentation about dependency injection. What you are trying to do is only possible if the S3CoreExtension is removed from the classpath because you cannot replace a @Provider method.

isDefault means "use this if no other is available"

Thank you for the quick reply!
Do you know of any other approach we can follow as we still would like to use the s3 extension functionality, just with a different provider?

[paullatzelsperger]

the AwsClientProviderImpl is not meant to be replaced. Why do you want to do that? I.e. what does your client do that the stock one doesn't?

We basically want the fix that exists for 0.10.1 (eclipse-edc/Technology-Aws@a4a95b0) but we're using a lower version and can't update. Our goal is to disable the caching in our custom provider.

[paullatzelsperger]

ok, then simply adding the @Provider(isDefault = true) won't solve anything in your case. What you're effectively trying to do is backporting the fix.

Copy-pasting the aws-s3-core module in your code base won't work either, because there are transitive dependencies onto it.

Why can't you use the latest version?

We are using tractusx and it uses specific edc versions and we don't have permission to upgrade unfortunately. Thank you for your help in any case :)

[paullatzelsperger]

You appear to be using a custom distribution of Tx-EDC anyway (otherwise you wouldn't be able to add any extensions), so it should be relatively simple to upgrade, at least technically. But I understand that there are some non-technical rules at play here ^^

Do you mind closing the discussion and marking the answer?
