Unable to connect to local dynamo-db instance in java

Question

I am testing my application which uses dynamoDB. I have started an instance locally using docker and I'm able to create / add items in the instance.

Now, inside my Java application, I am trying to connect to my local and when I'm sending an API call that interacts with my local Dynamo, it throws an error -

Unable to execute HTTP request: Unsupported or unrecognised SSL message

I've verified the endpoints and region using commands. Java code snippet for connecting to dynamo -

AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder builder = AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder.standard().withCredentials(amazonAWSCredentialsProvider());
    if (StringUtils.isEmpty(endpoint))
        builder.withRegion(Regions.fromName(awsRegion));
    else
        builder.withEndpointConfiguration(new AwsClientBuilder.EndpointConfiguration(endpoint, awsRegion));
    return builder.build();

I am not sure where this is failing. I am passing blank for access and secret key, region is the output of aws configure get region. Endpoint is configured to localhost:8000.

Stacktrace -

I am also unable to connect to http://localhost:8000/shell although my instance is running.

Is the Java application inside Docker or is the database inside Docker? — Ermiya Eskandary

Java application is outside, running in a different port. Database is inside docker. — N.Rajal

I got it working. I did not pay attention to the url I used, I should've used http://localhost:8000 (with http://) instead of the pure localhost:8000. Silly mistakes can eat a lot of your time!!
