Spark + Websockets

[Michael Soliterman]

Anyone had success using WebSocket connections with Spark? I would love to see a tutorial or a code snippet.

[Ross Lawley]

I'd be interested in that as well, I'm looking to do a demo app and any hints would be great!

what can you do with websocket on top of spark? just curious about its application examples, thanks.

[Misha Soliterman]

The primary benefit is the ability to eliminate polling. A websocket-based connection lets the server push updates to a client. In terms of applications, game clients and collaborative web applications come to mind, but the implications of a two-way connection are much broader than that.

If there any new about this topic? Is it possible to use web socket on top of spark?

[David Vollmar]

Yes, it's possible to use websockets with Spark. Currently it's required to modify Spark itself, as the hook to add your own Jetty handlers is not exposed through the Spark API.
See https://github.com/perwendel/spark/issues/196 for where and how to use it. I have a working prototype using the same concept.
