Java CRT Documentation

From the aws-crt-java directory: mvn install From maven: (https://search.maven.org/artifact/software.amazon.awssdk.crt/aws-crt/)

The aws-crt JAR in Maven Central is a large "uber" jar that contains compiled C libraries for many different platforms (Windows, Linux, etc). If size is an issue, you can pick a smaller platform-specific JAR by setting the <classifier>.

Sample to use classifier from aws-crt:

        <!-- Platform-specific Linux x86_64 JAR -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>software.amazon.awssdk.crt</groupId>
            <artifactId>aws-crt</artifactId>
            <version>0.20.5</version>
            <classifier>linux-x86_64</classifier>
        </dependency>

        <!-- "Uber" JAR that works on all platforms -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>software.amazon.awssdk.crt</groupId>
            <artifactId>aws-crt</artifactId>
            <version>0.20.5</version>
        </dependency>

• linux-armv6 (no auto-detect)
• linux-armv7 (no auto-detect)
• linux-aarch_64
• linux-x86_32
• linux-x86_64
• linux-x86_64-musl (no auto-detect)
• linux-armv7-musl (no auto-detect)
• linux-aarch_64-musl (no auto-detect)
• osx-aarch_64
• osx-x86_64
• windows-x86_32
• windows-x86_64
• fips-where-available (no auto-detect)

The os-maven-plugin can automatically detect your platform's classifier at build time.

NOTES: The auto-detected linux-arm_32 platform classifier is not supported, you must specify linux-armv6 or linux-armv7. Additionally, musl vs glibc detection is not supported either. If you are deploying to a musl-based system and wish to use a classifier-based jar, you must specify the classifier name yourself.

<build>
        <extensions>
            <!-- Generate os.detected.classifier property -->
            <extension>
                <groupId>kr.motd.maven</groupId>
                <artifactId>os-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.7.0</version>
            </extension>
        </extensions>
 </build>

 <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>software.amazon.awssdk.crt</groupId>
            <artifactId>aws-crt</artifactId>
            <version>0.20.5</version>
            <classifier>${os.detected.classifier}</classifier>
        </dependency>
  <dependencies>

Currently the classifier fips-where-available provides an "uber" jar with FIPS compliance on some platforms.

Platforms without FIPS compliance are also included in this jar, for compatibility's sake. Check CRT.isFIPS() at runtime to ensure you are on a FIPS compliant platform. The current breakdown is:

• FIPS compliant: linux-aarch_64, linux-x86_64
• NOT compliant: linux-armv6, linux-armv7, linux-armv7-musl, linux-aarch_64-musl, linux-x86_32, linux-x86_64-musl, osx-aarch_64, osx-x86_64, windows-x86_32, windows-x86_64

• To enable logging, set aws.crt.log.destination or aws.crt.log.level:
  • aws.crt.log.level - Log level. May be: "None", "Fatal", "Error", "Warn" (default), "Info", "Debug", "Trace".
  • aws.crt.log.destination - Log destination. May be: "Stderr" (default), "Stdout", "File", "None".
  • aws.crt.log.filename - File to use when aws.crt.log.destination is "File".
• aws.crt.libc - (Linux only) Set to "musl" or "glibc" if CRT cannot properly detect which to use.
• aws.crt.lib.dir - Set directory where CRT may extract its native library (by default, java.io.tmpdir is used)
• aws.crt.memory.tracing - May be: "0" (default, no tracing), "1" (track bytes), "2" (more detail). Allows the CRT.nativeMemory() and CRT.dumpNativeMemory() functions to report native memory usage.

The CRT uses native libraries for TLS, rather than Java's typical Secure Socket Extension (JSSE), KeyStore, and TrustStore. On Windows and Apple devices, the built-in OS libraries are used. On Linux/Unix/etc s2n-tls is used.

If you need to add certificates to the trust store, add them to your OS trust store. The CRT does not use the Java TrustStore. For more customization options, see TlsContextOptions and TlsConnectionOptions.

Please note that on Mac, once a private key is used with a certificate, that certificate-key pair is imported into the Mac Keychain. All subsequent uses of that certificate will use the stored private key and ignore anything passed in programmatically. Beginning in v0.6.6, when a stored private key from the Keychain is used, the following will be logged at the "info" log level:

static: certificate has an existing certificate-key pair that was previously imported into the Keychain.  Using key from Keychain instead of the one provided.

Many tests require environment variables to be set. These environment variables are translated at runtime to system properties for use by the tests. These tests will be quietly skipped if the properties they require are not set.

Environment variables can be set like so:

export ENV_VARIABLE_NAME="<variable value>"

Many tests require that you have set up an AWS IoT Thing.

Partial list of environment variables:

• AWS_TEST_MQTT311_IOT_CORE_HOST: AWS IoT service endpoint hostname for MQTT3
• AWS_TEST_MQTT311_IOT_CORE_RSA_CERT: Path to the IoT thing certificate for MQTT3
• AWS_TEST_MQTT311_IOT_CORE_RSA_KEY: Path to the IoT thing private key for MQTT3
• AWS_TEST_MQTT311_IOT_CORE_ECC_CERT: Path to the IoT thing with EC-based certificate for MQTT3
• AWS_TEST_MQTT311_IOT_CORE_ECC_KEY: Path to the IoT thing with ECC private key for MQTT3 (The ECC key file should only contains the ECC Private Key section to working on MacOS.)
• AWS_TEST_MQTT311_ROOT_CA: Path to the root certificate
• AWS_TEST_HTTP_PROXY_HOST: Hostname of proxy
• AWS_TEST_HTTP_PROXY_PORT: Port of proxy
• NETWORK_TESTS_DISABLED: Set this if tests are running in a constrained environment where network access is not guaranteed/allowed.

Other Environment Variables that can be set can be found in the SetupTestProperties() function in CrtTestFixture.java

These can be set persistently via Maven settings (usually in ~/.m2/settings.xml):

<settings>
    ...
  <profiles>
    <profile>
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <properties>
            <crt.test.endpoint>XXXXXXXXXX-ats.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com</crt.test.endpoint>
            <crt.test.certificate>/path/to/XXXXXXXX-certificate.pem.crt</crt.test.certificate>
            <crt.test.privatekey>/path/to/XXXXXXXX-private.pem.key</crt.test.privatekey>
            <crt.test.rootca>/path/to/AmazonRootCA1.pem</crt.test.rootca>
            ... etc ...
        </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>%

• CMake is configured to export a compilation database at target/cmake-build/compile_commands.json
• CLion: Build once with maven, then import the project as a Compilation Database Project
• VSCode: will detect that this is both a java project and if you have the CMake extension, you can point that at CMakeLists.txt and the compilation database

Tests can be debugged in Java/Kotlin via the built-in tooling in VSCode and IntelliJ. If you need to debug the native code, it's a bit trickier.

To debug native code with VSCode or CLion or any other IDE:

1. Find your mvn launch script(e.g. realpath $(which mvn)) and pull the command line at the bottom from it. This changes between versions of maven, so it is difficult to give consistent directions.

   As an example, for Maven 3.6.0 on Linux: /path/to/java -classpath /usr/share/java/plexus-classworlds-2.5.2.jar -Dclassworlds.conf=/usr/share/maven/bin/m2.conf -Dmaven.home=/usr/share/maven -Dlibrary.jansi.path=/usr/share/maven/lib/jansi-native -Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory=. org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher test -DforkCount=0 -Ddebug.native -Dtest=HttpClientConnectionManager#testMaxParallelConnections

   The important parts are:

   • -DforkCount=0 - prevents the Maven process from forking to run tests, so your debugger will be attached to the right process. You can ignore this if you configure your debugger to attach to child processes.
   • -Ddebug.native - Makes CMake compile the JNI bindings and core libraries in debug. By default, we compile in release with symbols, which will help for call stacks, but less so for live debugging.

2. Set the executable to launch to be your java binary (e.g. /usr/bin/java)

3. Set the parameters to be the ones used by the mvn script, as per above

4. Set the working directory to the aws-crt-java directory

5. On windows, you will need to manually load the PDB via the Modules window in Visual Studio, as it is not embedded in the JAR. It will be in the target/cmake-build/lib/windows/<arch> folder.
