Check auth while sending a message to a specific user by using STOMP and WebSocket in Spring

Question

I\'m developing a realtime notification system in Spring 4 by using a build-in Message Broker, and STOMP over WebS

Answer 1

Since users on my application are not authenticated I just used the session Id to differenciate the various topics

on the server:

template.convertAndSend("/topic/warnings/" + sessionId, ...)

And the client is pretty straightforward

stompClient.subscribe('/topic/warnings/${pageContext.session.id}', ...

Maybe not the cleanest way but it works, and without authentication I couldn't make use of /user channel
