Java – Amazon SNS -> SQS message body

amazon-snsamazon-sqsamazon-web-servicesjava

I'm sending a message from an SNS topic to an SQS. When I'm checking the body of the SQS message on my client, the whole of the message metadata is being sent in the SQS body.

I.E. if I'm sending a message "Hello World" from the topic, my client is receiving:

    BenFlowers {
  "Type" : "Notification",
  "MessageId" : "84102bd5-8890-4ed5-aeba-c15fafc926dc",
  "TopicArn" : "arn:aws:sns:eu-west-1:534706846367:HelloWorld",
  "Message" : "hello World",
  "Timestamp" : "2012-06-05T13:44:22.360Z",
  "SignatureVersion" : "1",
  "Signature" : "Qzh0qXhijBKylaFwc9PGE+lQQDwHGWkIzCW2Ld1eVrxNfSem4yyBTgouqGX26V0m1qhFD4RQcBzE3oNqx5jFhJfV4hN45FNcsFVnmfLPGNUTmJWblSk8f6znWgTy8UtK9xrTeNYzK59k3VJ4WTJ5kCEj+2vH7sBV15fAXeCAtdQ=",
  "SigningCertURL" : "https://sns.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/SimpleNotificationService-f3ecfb7224c7233fe7bb5f59f96de52f.pem",
  "UnsubscribeURL" : "https://sns.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/?Action=Unsubscribe&SubscriptionArn=arn:aws:sns:eu-west-1:534706846367:HelloWorld:8a3acde2-cb0b-4a56-9b9c-b75ed7307556"
}

This is a bit annoying as I am having to split the message body up on the other end. Speed is pretty important in this application so i would like to eliminate this. Is there any way to just send the message from the SNS and ignore the rest of the metadata?

Thanks,
Ben

SNS recently rolled out a feature that allows you to set 'raw message delivery' on an SNS topic.
