Web Sockets In Spring Mvc 3.2 And Html5

I want to use Web HTML5 sockets with Spring MVC. A few days ago I heard that Spring 3.2 release will come up with Web Sockets support for real time updates. http://blog.springsourc

Solution 1:

At the end of the blog post there's this paragraph:

Coming back to Spring MVC 3.2, the Servlet 3 async feature can be used for long-running requests and also for HTTP streaming, techniques Filip Hanik referred to as "the server version of client AJAX calls". As for WebSockets, there is no support yet in Spring 3.2 but it will most likely be included in Spring 3.3. You can watch SPR-9356 for progress updates.

So there is no support for WebSockets in Spring MVC 3.2. The [SPR-9356] issue says that the feature is in the Spring 4.0 backlog. 1
