One of our production customers just had a problem uploading a file to S3. When the error was printed out to the log, we received a undescriptive error message:
com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.AmazonS3Exception: BadRequest(Service: AmazonS3;StatusCode: 400;ErrorCode:400BadRequest;RequestID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
400 Bad Request maps to a large number of errors:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/ErrorResponses.html
It is impossible to debug on this error alone. My question is, how can I get an Error Code (as listed in the html page above) from the Java SDK when an error happens? Is there a generic way getting descriptive Error Code not just for S3, but for all AWS Java SDK Errors?
You should be able to get access to the full XML response that S3 sends back to the Java SDK using getErrorResponseXml on AmazonS3Exception.
