@MessageMapping("/hello")
    @SendTo("/topic/greetings")

        Thread.sleep(3000); // simulated delay
        return message;
    }

Can any one help me for who to call @SendTo("/topic/greetings") from normal api controller.I have try using this but it is not working for me

@RequestMapping(value = "/sendMessage")
    @SendTo("/topic/greetings")
    public HelloMessage sendMessage() throws Exception {
        return new HelloMessage((int) Math.random(), "This is Send From Server");
    }

Answer 1

I have found solution for that

@Autowired
private SimpMessagingTemplate template;


@RequestMapping(value = "/sendMessage")
public void sendMessage() throws Exception {
    this.template.convertAndSend("/topic/greetings", new HelloMessage(
            (int) Math.random(), "This is Send From Server"));
}

by using this we can send message to open WebSocket.
