Checking Whether an Object Exists (SDK for Java)
Function
This API checks whether an object exists. If the returned HTTP status code is 200, the object exists. If the returned HTTP status code is 404, the object or bucket does not exist.
If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.
Restrictions
- To check whether an object exists, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:object:GetObject in IAM or GetObject in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Configuring an Object Policy.
- The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
Method
doesObjectExist(final GetObjectMetadataRequest request)
Request Parameters
Parameter |
Type |
Mandatory (Yes/No) |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
request |
Yes |
Explanation: Request parameters. For details, see Table 2. |
Parameter |
Type |
Mandatory (Yes/No) |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
bucketName |
String |
Yes |
Explanation: Bucket name. Restrictions:
Default value: None |
objectKey |
String |
Yes |
Explanation: Object name. An object is uniquely identified by an object name in a bucket. An object name is a complete path that does not contain the bucket name. For example, if the address for accessing the object is examplebucket.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/folder/test.txt, the object name is folder/test.txt. Value range: The value must contain 1 to 1,024 characters. Default value: None |
versionId |
String |
No |
Explanation: Object version ID. Value range: The value must contain 32 characters. Default value: None |
userHeaders |
HashMap<String, String> |
No |
Explanation: User header list. In HashMap, the String key and value indicate the name and value of the user header field respectively. The SDK does not process the userHeaders and instead transparently transmits it to the server for later use. Value range: The value must contain 32 characters. Default value: None |
encodeHeaders |
boolean |
No |
Explanation: Whether to encode and decode HTTP headers. Value range: true: HTTP headers are encoded and decoded. false: HTTP headers are not encoded or decoded. Default value: true |
sseHeader |
No |
Explanation: Server-side decryption headers. For details, see Table 3. |
Parameter |
Type |
Mandatory (Yes/No) |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
algorithm |
Yes |
Explanation: SSE-C is used for encrypting objects on the server side. Value range: AES256, indicating AES is used to encrypt the object in SSE-C. For details, see Table 4. Default value: None |
|
sseAlgorithm |
No |
Explanation: Encryption algorithm. Restrictions: Only AES256 is supported. Value range: See Table 5. Default value: None |
|
sseCKey |
byte[] |
Yes |
Explanation: Key used for encrypting the object when SSE-C is used, in byte[] format. Default value: None |
sseCKeyBase64 |
String |
No |
Explanation: Base64-encoded key used for encrypting the object when SSE-C is used. Default value: None |
