init

@Deprecated
public static void init()

Deprecated. in favor of initialize()

This method no longer attempts to retrieve region metadata from CloudFront, as that file is no longer being maintained and the version bundled with the SDK is likely to be more up-to-date.

It's deprecated to signal that it no longer has any possibility of retrieving a newer set of metadata than was previously loaded. If you are simply wanting to reinitialize from the bundled region metadata, call initialize. If you want to maintain your own remote copy of the region metadata and periodically refresh it at runtime, call initializeFromURI.

initialize

public static void initialize()

Initializes the region metadata by loading from the default hierarchy of region metadata locations.

initializeFromURI

public static void initializeFromURI(URI uri)

Loads a set of region metadata by downloading an XML file from the given URI and parsing it.

Parameters:

uri - the uri of the XML file to parse

Throws:

AmazonClientException - on error

initializeFromURI

public static void initializeFromURI(URI uri,
                                     ClientConfiguration config)

Parameters:

uri - the uri of the XML file to parse

Throws:

AmazonClientException - on error
