Implement an AWS S3 Bucket Cache - C# .NET

This tutorial shows how to implement Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 Bucket Cache with the LEADTOOLS Document Library for use with our HTML5/JS Document Viewer.

Overview  
Summary This tutorial covers how to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 Bucket Cache in an application that uses the LEADTOOLS Document Library.
Completion Time 30 minutes
Platform .NET Framework
IDE Visual Studio 2019, 2022
Runtime License Download LEADTOOLS

Required Knowledge

This implementation is a fully-fledged example that can be used in a production environment. It makes use of JSON Serialization, which will make it compatible across different LEADTOOLS versions. For more information on the serialization of data, refer to CacheSerializationMode.

Note

This implementation does not handle the expiring of cache files. You will need to configure your AWS S3 implementation properly, if you want the files to be managed and deleted after a certain "expiring" time frame has passed.

Before any functionality from the SDK can be leveraged, a valid runtime license will have to be set.

For instructions on how to obtain a runtime license refer to Obtaining a License.

Open the Project

The functionality in this tutorial is built on the functionality of the .NET Document Service and JS Document Viewer. In order to open the project, navigate to <INSTALL_DIR>\Examples\Viewers\JS\DocumentViewerDemo and open the DocumentViewerDemo.sln solution file.

The Document Service projects are set up to run alongside many of our HTML5/JS Demos out of box (i.e. DocumentViewerDemo). For a step by step on how to configure and run the .NET Framework Document Service, you can take a look into the Configure and Run the Document Service tutorial.

Open the Document Viewer and Document Service Project

DocumentViewerDemo.sln is the solution file to open the Document Service.

The Document Service will launch on the following URL and port http://localhost:40000. The JS Document Viewer will launch on the following URL and port https://localhost:20010.

Set the License File

The License unlocks the features needed for the project. It must be set before any toolkit function is called. For details, including tutorials for different platforms, refer to the Setting a Runtime License tutorial.

There are two types of runtime licenses:

Configure the Project

This example code requires the following NuGet package:

Create and Implement the S3BucketCache Class

In the Solution Explorer, right-click Class1.cs and select Rename from the context menu. Type S3BucketCache.cs and press Enter.

Open the S3BucketCache.cs file and add the below code to create the S3BucketCache class.

Create the Cache Manager

Unlike the offline Document Viewer, the Document Service needs a cache manager to implement a cache.

In the Solution Explorer, right-click DocumentService project file, and select Add -> New Item. Create a new Class. Name your new class S3BucketCache.cs and press Add.

Open the S3BucketCache.cs file and add the below code to create the S3BucketCache class.

Update the InitializeS3BucketCache() method with your AWS Key and AWS Secret Key. For more information on setting Keys with the AWSSK3, consult the AWS documentation.

Note that this method of setting the credentials is only an example and you should use your credentials in a safe way that does not leave your access keys exposed.

C#
private ObjectCache InitializeS3BucketCache() 
{ 
    // Called by InitializeService the first time the service is run 
    // Initialize the global Cache object 
 
    string cacheConfigFile = ServiceHelper.GetSettingValue(ServiceHelper.Key_Cache_ConfigFile); 
    cacheConfigFile = ServiceHelper.GetAbsolutePath(cacheConfigFile); 
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(cacheConfigFile)) 
        throw new InvalidOperationException($"The cache configuration file location in '{ServiceHelper.Key_Cache_ConfigFile}' in the configuration file is empty"); 
 
    ObjectCache objectCache = null; 
 
    // Set the base directory of the cache (for resolving any relative paths) to this project's path 
    var additional = new Dictionary<string, string>(); 
    additional.Add(ObjectCache.BASE_DIRECTORY_KEY, WebRootPath); 
 
    try 
    { 
        //TODO Setup Connections  
        string awsAccessKeyId = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY"; //Update with Access Key 
        string awsSecretAccessKey = "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"; //Update with Secret Access Key 
        RegionEndpoint region = RegionEndpoint.USEast1; //Update to match a region where your S3 buckets are accessible. 
        AmazonS3Client client = new AmazonS3Client(awsAccessKeyId, awsSecretAccessKey, region); 
        string bucketName = "leadtoolstestbucket"; 
         
        objectCache = new S3BucketCache(client, bucketName); 
    } 
    catch (Exception ex) 
    { 
        throw new InvalidOperationException($"Cannot load cache configuration from '{cacheConfigFile}'", ex); 
    } 
 
    return objectCache; 
} 

Set the Cache in the Document Service

In the Solution Explorer, open the ServiceHelper.cs file. Update the CreateCache function to use the S3BucketCacheManager.

C#
public static void CreateCache() 
{ 
   // Called by InitializeService the first time the service is run 
   // Initialize the global ICacheManager object 
   //ICacheManager cacheManager = null; 
   S3BucketCacheManager cacheManager = new S3BucketCacheManager(WebRootPath, null); 
   // See if we have a CacheManager configuration file 
   /*string cacheManagerConfigFile = GetSettingValue(Key_Cache_CacheManagerConfigFile); 
   cacheManagerConfigFile = GetAbsolutePath(cacheManagerConfigFile); 
   if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(cacheManagerConfigFile)) 
   { 
      using (var stream = File.OpenRead(cacheManagerConfigFile)) 
      cacheManager = CacheManagerFactory.CreateFromConfiguration(stream, WebRootPath); 
   } 
   else 
   { 
      // Try to create the default ICacheManager directly (backward compatibility) 
      cacheManager = new DefaultCacheManager(WebRootPath, null); 
   } 
   */ 
   if (cacheManager == null) 
      throw new InvalidOperationException("Could not find a valid LEADTOOLS cache system configuration."); 
   cacheManager.Initialize(); 
   _cacheManager = cacheManager; 
} 

Run the Project

To run the project, press F5 or select Debug -> Start Debugging.

If the steps were followed correctly, the application should open two web browsers, one for the Document Service and one for the Document Viewer.

You can see the contents of the cache by using the AWS Portal, and looking at your S3 Bucket being used by the cache. Below are some examples of the contents you can expect to see in the S3 Bucket.

Example of the Base Directory for a S3 Bucket Cache
Example of the Directory for a Document Stored in a S3 Bucket Cache

For your reference, you can download the S3BucketCache.cs and S3BucketCacheManager.cs files here

Wrap-up

This tutorial showed how to set up an AWS S3 Bucket Cache to use with the LEADTOOLS .NET Framework Document Service and HTML5/JS Document Viewer.
