dynamic message-mapping for websockets in Spring 4

Question

I want to develop a small chat with springs new websocket/stomp support. I guess i cannot use something like this:

@MessageMapping(\"/connect/{roomId}\")
@SendTo         


        

Answer 1

Yes the @MessageMapping annotation (javaadoc) and the reference docs both list all supported arguments and return value types.

Answer 2

Figured it out, you need to use @DestinationVariable instead of @PathVariable
