How to send and receive a Java Object from Amazon SQS

Question

How do I send and receive a Java Object from SQS? For instance, I have a java object Log. I send the object to the message queue as

this.getSqs().sendMessage(new SendMessageRequest(myQueueUrl, log.toString());

However, at the time of retrieving the message from queue, I want to be able to retrieve it as List<Log> and use it as a java Log object inside my application. Any pointers on how to do that?

Id use Gson to serialize and deserialize pojo's to strings

you would send the message above as

sendMessage(new SendMessageRequest(myQueueUrl,log.toString());

then when you get a List<Messages> messages = sns.read();
for(Message m:messages){
    String json= m.getBody();
    Gson g = new Gson();
    Log l = g.fromJson(json,Log.class);
}
