Spring STOMP over Websocket - "private" messaging

I'm working on WebSocket chat. I've made simple one that sends every message to everyone. But I'm trying to make something like private messaging and I really don't know how to do that. I've tried different options but I'don't understand how to make it work.

Here's my code:

WebSocketConfig.java

@Configuration
@EnableWebSocketMessageBroker
public class WebSocketConfig extends AbstractWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer {

    @Override
    public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry config) {
        config.enableSimpleBroker("/topic/", "/queue/", "/user/");
        config.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/app");
    }

    @Override
    public void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry registry) {
        registry.addEndpoint("/gs-guide-websocket").withSockJS();
    }
}

GreetingController.java

@Controller
public class GreetingController {

    @MessageMapping("/hello")
    @SendTo("/topic/greetings")
    public Greeting greeting(Message message) throws Exception {
        return new Greeting(message.getFrom_user_id(), message.getMessage(), message.getTo_user_id());

    }
}

And my js function to connect and sending message:

function connect() {
var socket = new SockJS('/gs-guide-websocket');
stompClient = Stomp.over(socket);
var theUserId = 1;
stompClient.connect({user:theUserId}, function (frame) {
    setConnected(true);
    console.log('Connected: ' + frame);
    //stompClient.subscribe('/topic/greetings', function (greeting) {
    stompClient.subscribe('/topic/greetings', function (greeting) {
        showGreeting(JSON.parse(greeting.body).content);
    });
});
}


function sendName() {
stompClient.send("/app/hello", {}, JSON.stringify(
        {
            'from_user_id': parseInt($("#from_user_id").val()), 
            'message': $("#message").val(),
            'to_user_id': parseInt($("#to_user_id").val())
        }));
}

How to make private message work? Could somebody explain me how it should work?

Cheers Andrew!

We can make use of SimpMessagingTemplate to send the message to appropriate destination queues

Docs: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/messaging/simp/SimpMessagingTemplate.html :

    @Autowired
    private SimpMessagingTemplate template;

    @MessageMapping("/hello")
    public void greeting(Message message) throws Exception {

     this.template.convertAndSend("/topic/"+message.getFrom_user_id(),message);

    }

Accordingly define the subscription to the topics in the client side
