This is a sample application for integrating with Predix Blobstore. This is built on Spring (Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Data) technology and uses a JCloud Blobstore client (S3 APIs) to connect to the store. The sample app has a simple web interface, that lets you do the following:

• Add a new object (single object or multipart upload available)
• List all objects in the store
• Download an object
• Delete an object

The sample app uses Predix Blobstore to store objects and their metadata.

Note: We recommend jclouds-blobstore version 2.0.0. Other versions are not necessarily supported.

1. Login to Predix.

2. Create an instance of the predix-blobstore service, for example:

   cf create-service predix-blobstore <plan> <my_blobstore_instance>.

3. Clone the sample project.

   git clone http://github.com/PredixDev/blobstore-samples.git

4. Change to the object-store sub directory.

   cd blobstore-samples/blobstore-jclouds-sample

5. Run

   mvn clean package

6. In the manifest.yml file, enter the name of your blobstore app, update the BROKER_SERVICE_NAME value with your Blobstore instance name, and add your Blobstore instance to the services section.

   - name: blobstore-jclouds-sample
       memory: 512M
       instances: 1
       path: target/blobstore-jclouds-sample-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
       timeout: 180
       buildpack: java_buildpack
       env:
         BROKER_SERVICE_NAME: <my-blobstore-instance>
       services:
        - <my-blobstore-instance>

7. From the project's home directory, push the application: cf push

8. View the environment variables for your application: cf env <application_name>

9. Copy and paste the URL that is returned in your environment variables for your application into a browser window.

10. Click Upload to upload your file. You can upload both single object and multipart objects.

NOTE: If you upload an object with the same file name as an existing object, the existing object is replaced by the new object.
