Azure File Share client library for Java

Makale
09/18/2024

The Server Message Block (SMB) protocol is the preferred file share protocol used on-premises today. The Microsoft Azure File Share service enables customers to leverage the availability and scalability of Azure's Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) SMB without having to rewrite SMB client applications.

Files stored in Azure File Share service shares are accessible via the SMB protocol, and also via REST APIs. The File Share service offers the following four resources: the storage account, shares, directories, and files. Shares provide a way to organize sets of files and also can be mounted as an SMB file share that is hosted in the cloud.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Java Development Kit (JDK) with version 8 or above
- Here are details about Java 8 client compatibility with Azure Certificate Authority.
Azure Subscription
Create Storage Account

Include the package

Include the BOM file

Please include the azure-sdk-bom to your project to take dependency on GA version of the library. In the following snippet, replace the {bom_version_to_target} placeholder with the version number. To learn more about the BOM, see the AZURE SDK BOM README.

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
            <artifactId>azure-sdk-bom</artifactId>
            <version>{bom_version_to_target}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

and then include the direct dependency in the dependencies section without the version tag.

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-storage-file-share</artifactId>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Include direct dependency

If you want to take dependency on a particular version of the library that is not present in the BOM, add the direct dependency to your project as follows.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
  <artifactId>azure-storage-file-share</artifactId>
  <version>12.24.0</version>
</dependency>

Create a Storage Account

To create a Storage Account you can use the Azure Portal or Azure CLI.

az storage account create \
    --resource-group <resource-group-name> \
    --name <storage-account-name> \
    --location <location>

Authenticate the client

In order to interact with the Storage service (File Share Service, Share, Directory, MessageId, File) you'll need to create an instance of the Service Client class. To make this possible you'll need the Account SAS (shared access signature) string of Storage account. Learn more at SAS Token

Get Credentials

SAS Token

Use the Azure CLI snippet below to get the SAS token from the Storage account.

az storage file generate-sas
    --name {account name}
    --expiry {date/time to expire SAS token}
    --permission {permission to grant}
    --connection-string {connection string of the storage account}

CONNECTION_STRING=<connection-string>

az storage file generate-sas
    --name javasdksas
    --expiry 2019-06-05
    --permission rpau
    --connection-string $CONNECTION_STRING

Alternatively, get the Account SAS Token from the Azure Portal.
1. Go to your storage account.
2. Click on "Shared access signature".
3. Click on "Generate SAS and connection string".

Shared Key Credential
- There are two ways to create a shared key credential, the first is using the storage account name and account key. The second is using the storage connection string.
  1. Use account name and account key.
    1. The account name is your storage account name.
    2. Go to your storage account.
    3. Select "Access keys" tab.
    4. Copy the "Key" value for either Key 1 or Key 2.
  2. Use the connection string
    1. Go to your storage account.
    2. Select "Access keys" tab.
    3. Copy the "Connection string" value for either Key 1 or Key 2.

Key concepts

URL format

File Shares are addressable using the following URL format:

https://<storage account>.file.core.windows.net/<share>

The following URL addresses a queue in the diagram:

https://myaccount.file.core.windows.net/images-to-download

Resource URI Syntax

For the storage account, the base URI for queue operations includes the name of the account only:

https://myaccount.file.core.windows.net

For file, the base URI includes the name of the account and the name of the directory/file:

https://myaccount.file.core.windows.net/myshare/mydirectorypath/myfile

Handling Exceptions

Uses the shareServiceClient generated from shareServiceClient section below.

try {
    shareServiceClient.createShare("myShare");
} catch (ShareStorageException e) {
    logger.error("Failed to create a share with error code: " + e.getErrorCode());
}

Resource Names

The URI to reference a share, directory or file must be unique. Within a given storage account, every share must have a unique name. Every file within a given share or directory must also have a unique name within that share or directory.

If you attempt to create a share, directory, or file with a name that violates naming rules, the request will fail with status code 400 (Bad Request).

The rules for File Share service names are more restrictive than what is prescribed by the SMB protocol for SMB share names, so that the Blob and File services can share similar naming conventions for containers and shares. The naming restrictions for shares are as follows:

A share name must be a valid DNS name.
Share names must start with a letter or number, and can contain only letters, numbers, and the dash (-) character.
Every dash (-) character must be immediately preceded and followed by a letter or number; consecutive dashes are not permitted in share names.
All letters in a share name must be lowercase.
Share names must be from 3 through 63 characters long.

Directory and File Names

The Azure File Share service naming rules for directory and file names are as follows:

Share Directory and file names are case-preserving and case-insensitive.
Share Directory and file component names must be no more than 255 characters in length.
Share Directory names cannot end with the forward slash character (/). If provided, it will be automatically removed.
Share File names must not end with the forward slash character (/).
Reserved URL characters must be properly escaped.
The following characters are not allowed: " \ / : | < > * ?
Illegal URL path characters not allowed. Code points like \uE000, while valid in NTFS filenames, are not valid Unicode characters. In addition, some ASCII or Unicode characters, like control characters (0x00 to 0x1F, \u0081, etc.), are also not allowed. For rules governing Unicode strings in HTTP/1.1 see RFC 2616, Section 2.2: Basic Rules and RFC 3987.
The following file names are not allowed: LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, PRN, AUX, NUL, CON, CLOCK$, dot character (.), and two dot characters (..).

Metadata Names

Metadata for a share or file resource is stored as name-value pairs associated with the resource. Directories do not have metadata. Metadata names must adhere to the naming rules for C# identifiers.

Note that metadata names preserve the case with which they were created, but are case-insensitive when set or read. If two or more metadata headers with the same name are submitted for a resource, the Azure File service returns status code 400 (Bad Request).

The File Share Service REST API provides operations on accounts and manage file service properties. It allows the operations of listing and deleting shares, getting and setting file service properties. Once you have the SASToken, you can construct the shareServiceClient with ${accountName}, ${sasToken}

String shareServiceURL = String.format("https://%s.file.core.windows.net", ACCOUNT_NAME);
ShareServiceClient shareServiceClient = new ShareServiceClientBuilder().endpoint(shareServiceURL)
    .sasToken(SAS_TOKEN).buildClient();

The share resource includes metadata and properties for that share. It allows the operations of creating, creating snapshot, deleting shares, getting share properties, setting metadata, getting and setting ACL (Access policy). Getting and setting ACL (Access policy) can only be used by ShareClient with ConnectionString.

Once you have the SASToken, you can construct the share client with ${accountName}, ${shareName}, ${sasToken}

String shareURL = String.format("https://%s.file.core.windows.net", ACCOUNT_NAME);
ShareClient shareClient = new ShareClientBuilder().endpoint(shareURL)
    .sasToken(SAS_TOKEN).shareName(shareName).buildClient();

Once you have the ConnectionString, you can construct the share client with ${accountName}, ${shareName}, ${connectionString}

String shareURL = String.format("https://%s.file.core.windows.net", ACCOUNT_NAME);
ShareClient shareClient = new ShareClientBuilder().endpoint(shareURL)
    .connectionString(CONNECTION_STRING).shareName(shareName).buildClient();

Share with `TokenCredential`

Once you have the TokenCredential, you can construct the share client with ${accountName}, ${shareName} and ShareTokenIntent. ShareTokenIntent.BACKUP specifies requests that are intended for backup/admin type operations, meaning that all file/directory ACLs are bypassed and full permissions are granted. User must have required RBAC permission in order to use ShareTokenIntent.BACKUP.

String shareURL = String.format("https://%s.file.core.windows.net", ACCOUNT_NAME);

ShareClient serviceClient = new ShareClientBuilder()
    .endpoint(shareURL)
    .credential(tokenCredential)
    .shareTokenIntent(ShareTokenIntent.BACKUP)
    .shareName(shareName)
    .buildClient();

File

The file resource includes the properties for that file. It allows the operations of creating, uploading, copying, downloading, deleting files or range of the files, getting properties, setting metadata, listing and force closing the handles. Once you have the SASToken, you can construct the file service client with ${accountName}, ${shareName}, ${directoryPath}, ${fileName}, ${sasToken}

String fileURL = String.format("https://%s.file.core.windows.net", ACCOUNT_NAME);
ShareFileClient fileClient = new ShareFileClientBuilder().connectionString(CONNECTION_STRING)
    .endpoint(fileURL).shareName(shareName).resourcePath(directoryPath + "/" + fileName).buildFileClient();

Troubleshooting

General

When you interact with file using this Java client library, errors returned by the service correspond to the same HTTP status codes returned for REST API requests. For example, if you try to retrieve a share that doesn't exist in your Storage Account, a 404 error is returned, indicating Not Found.

Default HTTP Client

All client libraries by default use the Netty HTTP client. Adding the above dependency will automatically configure the client library to use the Netty HTTP client. Configuring or changing the HTTP client is detailed in the HTTP clients wiki.

Default SSL library

All client libraries, by default, use the Tomcat-native Boring SSL library to enable native-level performance for SSL operations. The Boring SSL library is an uber jar containing native libraries for Linux / macOS / Windows, and provides better performance compared to the default SSL implementation within the JDK. For more information, including how to reduce the dependency size, refer to the performance tuning section of the wiki.
