Error while using DynamoDB AWS SDK [No Mapping for Hash Key] because of naming convention

Question

While using AWS JAva SDK, for defining DynamoDBHashKey we @DynamoDBHashKey annotation.

Strangely if i use annotation as below

@DynamoDBHashKey 
String Abc

instead of

@DynamoDBHashKey 
String abc

this gives me an error, no mapping for HASH key [junit] at com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.datamodeling.DynamoDBMapperTableModel.hashKey(DynamoDBMapperTableModel.java:119) [junit] at com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.datamodeling.DynamoDBMapperTableModel$Builder.build(DynamoDBMapperTableModel.java:449) [junit] at com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.datamodeling.StandardModelFactories$StandardTableFactory.getTable(StandardModelFactories.java:104) [junit] at com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.datamodeling.DynamoDBMapper.getTableModel(DynamoDBMapper.java:393) [junit] at com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.datamodeling.DynamoDBMapper.generateCreateTableRequest(DynamoDBMapper.java:2148) [junit] at com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.datamodeling.AbstractDynamoDBMapper.generateCreateTableRequest(AbstractDynamoDBMapper.java:319)

I am unable to understand why does variable naming convention plays a role in failure Any Idea?

If the solution below works for you please accept and up vote. You might consider filing an issue on the AWS SDK for Java. — Alexander Patrikalakis

Introspection magic does not appear to be working in this case. Force the attribute name with the parameter attributeName.

@DynamoDBTable(tableName="Books")
public static class Book {
    private String Abc;

    @DynamoDBHashKey(attributeName="Abc")
    public int getAbc() {
        return Abc;
    }
}
