How to send a STOMP message with Spring4 when controller is mapped - spring-4

Question

I have the following code...
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/stomp/**")
public class StompController {
#MessageMapping("/hello")
#SendTo("/topic/greet")
public Greeting greet(HelloMessage message) throws Exception{
System.out.println("Inside the method "+message.getName());
Thread.sleep(3000);
return new Greeting("Hello, "+message.getName()+"!");
}
}
#Configuration
#EnableWebSocketMessageBroker
public class WebSocketConfig extends AbstractWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer {
#Override
public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry config) {
config.enableSimpleBroker("/stomp/topic");
config.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/app");
}
#Override
public void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry registry) {
registry.addEndpoint("/stomp/hello").withSockJS();
}
}
<script type="text/javascript">
var stompClient = null;
function setConnected(connected) {
document.getElementById('connect').disabled = connected;
document.getElementById('disconnect').disabled = !connected;
document.getElementById('conversationDiv').style.visibility = connected ? 'visible' : 'hidden';
document.getElementById('response').innerHTML = '';
}
function connect() {
var socket = new SockJS('/stomp/hello');
stompClient = Stomp.over(socket);
stompClient.connect({}, function(frame) {
setConnected(true);
console.log('Connected: ' + frame);
stompClient.subscribe('/stomp/topic/greet', function(greeting){
showGreeting(JSON.parse(greeting.body).content);
});
});
}
function disconnect() {
stompClient.disconnect();
setConnected(false);
console.log("Disconnected");
}
function sendName() {
var name = document.getElementById('name').value;
stompClient.send("/stomp/app/hello", {}, JSON.stringify({ 'name': name }));
}
function showGreeting(message) {
var response = document.getElementById('response');
var p = document.createElement('p');
p.style.wordWrap = 'break-word';
p.appendChild(document.createTextNode(message));
response.appendChild(p);
}
</script>
The Client side code seems to connect fine but I don't see the console message meaning to me "/stomp/app/hello" is the wrong path. What should the proper path be?
I also tried /app/stomp/hello no dice...
Update
I can remove the #RequestMapping("/stomp/**") and remove the stomp related stuff and it works fine for my simple test, however, I need it to work for a more complex application that will not allow this.

Answer 1

#RequestMapping and #MessageMapping annotations can be used in similar ways, but are totally different.
#MessageMapping can also be used at the type level (see reference documentation), so you could annotate your controller with #MessageMapping("/stomp/**").
Nothing prevents you from annotating a Controller with both #MessageMapping and #RequestMapping - similar programming model, different purposes.
