Spring WebSocket @SendToSession: send message to specific session

by

No need to create specific destinations, it’s already done out of the box as of Spring 4.1 (see SPR-11309).

Given users subscribe to a /user/queue/something queue, you can send a message to a single session with:

As stated in the SimpMessageSendingOperations Javadoc, since your user name is actually a sessionId, you MUST set that as a header as well otherwise the DefaultUserDestinationResolver won’t be able to route the message and will drop it.

SimpMessageHeaderAccessor headerAccessor = SimpMessageHeaderAccessor
    .create(SimpMessageType.MESSAGE);
headerAccessor.setSessionId(sessionId);
headerAccessor.setLeaveMutable(true);

messagingTemplate.convertAndSendToUser(sessionId,"/queue/something", payload, 
    headerAccessor.getMessageHeaders());

You don’t need users to be authenticated for this.
