This is a simple API to access Amazon's SQS, EC2, SimpleDB and DevPay LS web services. It uses the QUERY interfaces and patterns the methods after those available from Amazon in their SOAP client for these services. This code is thread-safe and works very reliably to the best of my knowledge. I've been using it on a system where sending messages in SQS is critical and we manage pools of servers on EC2.
How are you using typica? I'd like to hear about your application! Send me a URL and/or description. TypicaInTheWild
There is a new tool available for downloads. QueryTool is helpful for debugging select statements in SimpleDB. For more information, look here; http://coderslike.us/2009/04/15/query-tool-for-amazon-simpledb/
Dependencies:

- JAXB (https://jaxb.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=6746&expandFolder=6746&folderID=3952)
- commons-httpclient (http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi)
- commons-codec (http://commons.apache.org/downloads/download_codec.cgi)
The combination of EC2, S3 and SQS is very compelling for building scalable applications. Instead of adding S3 support into typica, I recommend using the excellent library called Jets3t. http://jets3t.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html

The name (TIP-ik-uh) was chosen because this is a coffee grown in Brazil, through which the Amazon flows. (has the Java and Amazon references)
