The Gretty plugin for Gradle can be used to embed a variety of containers.įirst, apply the Gretty plugin to adle file by adding this to your plugins block: Unlike Creating a WebSocket Server with Spring Boot, or Creating a WebSocket Server with the Spark Framework, there is initially no embedded server to run your application. You can use the following command to create a directory for your project, navigate to that directory, and initialize the application: You will use Gradle to initialize a new Java application. However, because you will be using JSR 356, any other web container which supports Java EE 7 or later should work. It allows developers to write their WebSocket-based application completely independent of their container's implementation. Introduced in Java EE 7, the Java API for WebSockets, or JSR 356 is a specification that Java developers can use in order to integrate WebSockets into their applications. NOTE: Currently Java 16 is not supported by the Gretty plug-in we're about to use.

#TOMCAT 8 WEBSOCKET TUTORIAL SERIES#
In this series of posts, I'm going to show you three different ways to create a WebSocket server in Java using Spring Boot, the Spark Framework, and the Java API for WebSockets.
This allows for the server to notify the client at any time instead of the client polling on a regular interval for updates. It has an advantage over RESTful HTTP because communications are both bi-directional and real-time. WebSocket is a protocol which enables communication between the server and the client (usually the browser or mobile application).
