How to configure custom Spring Cloud AWS SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory so it keeps working with @SqsListener

Question

I am trying to get SpringCloud AWS SQS working with a custom SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory so i can set timeouts and maxnumber of messages. Without the custom SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory methods that are annotated with the @SqsListener nicely pickup messages that are in SQS. But when i try to configure a custom SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory the annotation stops working.

@Bean
public SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory simpleMessageListenerContainerFactory(AmazonSQSAsync amazonSqs) {
    SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory factory = new SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory();
    factory.setAmazonSqs(amazonSqs);
    factory.setAutoStartup(true);
    factory.setMaxNumberOfMessages(10);
    factory.setWaitTimeOut(2000);
    return factory;
}

How can i get the normal @SqsListener behaviour when defining a custom SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory?

@Component
public class SqsMessageConsumer {
    @SqsListener("incoming-data")
    private void doSomething(String payload) {
        System.out.println("data = " + payload);
    }
}

Not sure what you have missed but there is a test exactly for such a use-case:

@EnableSqs
@Configuration
public static class ConfigurationWithCustomContainerFactory {


    @Bean
    public SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory simpleMessageListenerContainerFactory() {
        SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory factory = new SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory();
        factory.setAmazonSqs(amazonSQS());
        ...
        return factory;
    }

    @Bean
    public AmazonSQSAsync amazonSQS() {
        return AMAZON_SQS;
    }

}

So, @EnaqbleSqs is still here and SqsConfiguration is @Autowired with your custom SimpleMessageListenerContainerFactory @Bean.
