AWS IOT: register Thing and use of thing attributes in rules and actions
<p>I have a few questions to the aws iot solution:  </p>

<p>I want to register a "Thing" with a few attributes and a associate a client certificate to the thing.<br>
Can I do this with the java sdk? Maybe you have a link to an example?<br>
(didn't find that in the aws-iot-device-sdk, have only seen aws cli examples)</p>

<p>If a device (with the client certificate) publishes a message, how could I use the associated thing and its attributes? (In an action or a rule)<br>
See only to get the shadow-device, but not the "thing":<br>

<p>Anybody could help me?</p>

<p>Regards,<br>
