  If you do not have one, go to Java SE Downloads on the Oracle website, then download and install the Java SE Development Kit (JDK). Java 8 or higher is recommended.

An Amazon Web Services (AWS) account to access secrets stored in AWS Secrets Manager and use AWS SDK for Java.

• To create an AWS account, go to Sign In or Create an AWS Account and then choose I am a new user. Follow the instructions to create an AWS account.

• To create a secret in AWS Secrets Manager, go to Creating Secrets and follow the instructions on that page.

• To download and install the AWS SDK for Java, go to Installing the AWS SDK for Java in the AWS SDK for Java documentation and then follow the instructions on that page.

</profiles>

Get Started

The following code sample demonstrates how to get started:

1. Instantiate the caching client.
2. Request secret.

// This example shows how an AWS Lambda function can be written
// to retrieve a cached secret from AWS Secrets Manager caching
// client.
package com.amazonaws.secretsmanager.caching.examples;

import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.Context;
import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.RequestHandler;
import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.LambdaLogger;

import com.amazonaws.secretsmanager.caching.SecretCache;

/**
 * SampleClass.
 */
public class SampleClass implements RequestHandler<String, String> {

    private final SecretCache cache = new SecretCache();

    @Override
    public String handleRequest(String secretId, Context context) {
        final String secret = cache.getSecretString(secretId);
        // Use secret to connect to secured resource.
        return "Success!";
    }
}
