Hi again,
For what it's worth, I created a new attachment processor class and
subsidiary classes which deal with AWS regions, buckets, and linkLifes to
satisfy my requirements listed above. In my Application's
finishInitialization I assigned this new processor to the
ERS3Attachment.STORAGE_TYPE value. If anyone ever does something similar
I'd be happy to help them out.
Cheers,
Matt
