# Publish a large message to Amazon SNS with Amazon S3 using an AWS SDK
Publish a large message

The following code example shows how to publish a large message to Amazon SNS using Amazon S3 to store the message payload.

------
#### [ Java ]

**SDK for Java 1.x**  
 There's more on GitHub. Find the complete example and learn how to set up and run in the [AWS Code Examples Repository](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/java/example_code/sns#code-examples). 
To publish a large message, use the Amazon SNS Extended Client Library for Java. The message that you send references an Amazon S3 object containing the actual message content.
