Amazon SQS Java Messaging Library

Question

We are migrating project from Springboot 2.7.3 to 3.0.0. We have used 'amazon-sqs-java-messaging-lib' dependency. We are creating bean by using
```
    @Bean
    public ConnectionFactory sqsConnectionFactory() {
        return new SQSConnectionFactory(
                new ProviderConfiguration(),
                new AmazonSQSBufferedAsyncClient(amazonSQSAsync, queueBufferConfig));
    }
```
which returns "javax.jms.ConnectionFactory" but springboot 3.0 doesn't support javax.jms.ConnectionFactory. So we are using "jakarta.jms.ConnectionFactory;" which is from Jakarta EE 9 API. It looks like 'amazon-sqs-java-messaging-lib' doesn't provide support for jakarta. Is there any other way to create connection?

Answer

Hello,

This is Tom from AWS Premium Support. I see that the current issue is regarding 'amazon-sqs-java-messaging-lib' incompatibility with Jakarta.

Looking through GitHub Repository, I found out two related links mentioning the same compatibility issue with 'amazon-sqs-java-messaging-lib', and it looks like the change is still pending review [1] [2].

Currently, to create SQS connections, two other alternative solutions would be to either use Java SDK without JMS implementation [3], or roll back to previous version of Springboot (such as Springboot 2.7.3).

You may continue checking on the aforementioned GitHub Issue page [1] and Pull request page [2] to see if "amazon-sqs-java-messaging-lib" has been updated with Springboot 3 compatibility later.

Thanks and have a nice day!
