Annotation Interface SendToUser

@Target({TYPE,METHOD}) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented public @interface SendToUser
Indicates the return value of a message-handling method should be sent as a Message to the specified destination(s) further prepended with "/user/{username}" where the user name is extracted from the headers of the input message being handled.

Both @SendTo and @SendToUser may be used on the same method in which case a message is sent to the destinations of both annotations.

This annotation may be placed class-level in which case it is inherited by methods of the class. At the same time, method-level @SendTo or @SendToUser annotations override any such at the class level.
