ListNextBatchOfObjectsRequest does not retain RequestCredentialsProvider

[jodastephen]

Upcoming End-of-Support

• [X] I acknowledge the upcoming end-of-support for AWS SDK for Java v1 was announced, and migration to AWS SDK for Java v2 is recommended.

Describe the bug

The method AmazonS3Client::listNextBatchOfObjects(ListNextBatchOfObjectsRequest) takes a standard request object that contains the property RequestCredentialsProvider (inherited from AmazonWebServiceRequest). However, the implementation uses the method ListNextBatchOfObjectsRequest::toListObjectsRequest() which does not copy the credentials provider (and other properties) to the ListObjectsRequest. As a result, our code failed to have the correct credentials to query S3.

Expected Behavior

The code should copy the request credentials across. The class ListNextBatchOfVersionsRequest does this correctly.

Current Behavior

This is the broken code in ListNextBatchOfObjectsRequest:

    public ListObjectsRequest toListObjectsRequest() {
        return new ListObjectsRequest(previousObjectListing.getBucketName(),
                previousObjectListing.getPrefix(),
                previousObjectListing.getNextMarker(),
                previousObjectListing.getDelimiter(),
                Integer.valueOf(previousObjectListing.getMaxKeys()))
                .withEncodingType(previousObjectListing.getEncodingType());
    }

This is the correct kind of code in ListNextBatchOfVersionsRequest, note how the extra properties are copied across:

    public ListVersionsRequest toListVersionsRequest() {
        ListVersionsRequest result = new ListVersionsRequest(previousVersionListing.getBucketName(),
                                                             previousVersionListing.getPrefix(),
                                                             previousVersionListing.getNextKeyMarker(),
                                                             previousVersionListing.getNextVersionIdMarker(),
                                                             previousVersionListing.getDelimiter(),
                                                             previousVersionListing.getMaxKeys())
            .withEncodingType(previousVersionListing.getEncodingType())
            .withRequestCredentialsProvider(getRequestCredentialsProvider())
            .withGeneralProgressListener(getGeneralProgressListener())
            .withRequestMetricCollector(getRequestMetricCollector());

        Integer sdkClientExecutionTimeout = getSdkClientExecutionTimeout();
        if (sdkClientExecutionTimeout != null) {
            result.setSdkClientExecutionTimeout(sdkClientExecutionTimeout);
        }

        Integer sdkRequestTimeout = getSdkRequestTimeout();
        if (sdkClientExecutionTimeout != null) {
            result.setSdkRequestTimeout(sdkRequestTimeout);
        }

        return result;
    }

@jodastephen bug acknowledged. But we probably won't fix it before maintenance mode phase.

The recommendation here is to use Java SDK v2 built-in Paginators - https://sdk.amazonaws.com/java/api/latest/software/amazon/awssdk/services/s3/S3Client.html#listObjectsV2Paginator(java.util.function.Consumer)

Closing this, we don't have plans to fix before going into Maintenance Mode.
