You can change max text buffer size according to your needs:

WebSocketContainer container = ContainerProvider.getWebSocketContainer();

After banging my head against the wall for a week, I discovered the problem. The client I was using (internal spring java websocket stomp client) is not capable of partial messaging nor is it configurable with the size of buffer for messages. The answer(workaround) was to take the internal java stop client code and implement my own version of it that had a configurable message buffer size as well as implement a way to handle partial messages. Hope this anyone else who hits this problem.
