Chapter 7. Atmosphere-Websocket

Atmosphere Websocket Servlet Component
Copy link

Available as of Camel 2.14
The atmosphere-websocket: component provides Websocket based endpoints for a servlet communicating with external clients over Websocket (as a servlet accepting websocket connections from external clients). The component uses the Chapter 128, SERVLET component and uses the Atmosphere library to support the Websocket transport in various Servlet containers (e..g., Jetty, Tomcat, ...).
Unlike the Chapter 159, Websocket component that starts the embedded Jetty server, this component uses the servlet provider of the container.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component: 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-atmosphere-websocket</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

Reading and Writing Data over Websocket
Copy link

An atmopshere-websocket endpoint can either write data to the socket or read from the socket, depending on whether the endpoint is configured as the producer or the consumer, respectively.
