Spring boot + ActiveMQ + stomp broker relay failed to connect

Question

I am following the this guide http://spring.io/guides/gs/messaging-stomp-websocket/ and but instead of using the simple message broker, I am trying to use the stomp broker relay

@Override
public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry registry) {
    registry.enableStompBrokerRelay("/topic").setRelayHost("stomp://localhost").setRelayPort(61612);
    registry.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/app");
}

and I am trying but my console keeps showing failed to connect

My activemq.xml is the default except for this:

<transportConnectors>
        <transportConnector name="stomp" uri="stomp://localhost:61612"/>
 </transportConnectors>

ActiveMQ starts up with no problems as I am able to connect to the admin page at http://localhost:8161/admin .

Here is my maven pom.xml in case someone spots out that I might be using the wrong dependencies

Answer 1

Problem solved.

I just needed to remove the "stomp://" prefix. As the spring configuration method implies it is a stomp relay, I did not need to add the prefix myself. Also need to enter a username and password if it is set in the default activemq installation.

@Override
public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry registry) {
    registry.enableStompBrokerRelay("/topic")
        .setRelayHost("127.0.0.1")
        .setRelayPort(61613)
        .setClientLogin("system")
        .setClientPasscode("password")
    registry.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/app");

}

Answer 2

change the configureMessageBroker as shown below

 @Override
public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry registry) {
    registry.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/app");
    registry.enableStompBrokerRelay("/topic").setRelayHost("localhost").setRelayPort(15672).setClientLogin("guest")
            .setClientPasscode("guest");
}
