Spring Stomp @SubscribeMapping(“/user/…”) with User Destination doesn't work

Question

I need to react on a user destination subscription.

Example:

A user subscribes to /user/messages, because he wants to receive all incoming message

Answer 1

Define the user prefix also as an application prefix, and you'll then be able to map the subscription in your controller. Configuration:

@Override
public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry registry) {
    registry.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/app", "/user");
    registry.enableSimpleBroker("/queue", "/topic");
    registry.setUserDestinationPrefix("/user");
}

Controller:

@SubscribeMapping("/messages")
public void test(Principal p) { 
    sendMessagesThatWereReceivedWhileUserWasOffline();
}
