Package org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.servlet

Class WebSocketServlet

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, Servlet, ServletConfig
    @Deprecated(since="2021-05-27")
public abstract class WebSocketServlet
extends HttpServlet
    Deprecated.
    The Eclipse Jetty and Apache Felix Http Jetty packages are no longer supported.
    Abstract Servlet used to bridge the Servlet API to the WebSocket API.

    To use this servlet, you will be required to register your websockets with the WebSocketServletFactory so that it can create your websockets under the appropriate conditions.

    The most basic implementation would be as follows. 

      package my.example;

  import org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.servlet.WebSocketServlet;
  import org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.servlet.WebSocketServletFactory;

  public class MyEchoServlet extends WebSocketServlet
  {
      @Override
      public void configure(WebSocketServletFactory factory)
      {
          // set a 10 second idle timeout
          factory.getPolicy().setIdleTimeout(10000);
          // register my socket
          factory.register(MyEchoSocket.class);
      }
  }
    Note: that only request that conforms to a "WebSocket: Upgrade" handshake request will trigger the WebSocketServletFactory handling of creating WebSockets.
    All other requests are treated as normal servlet requests.

    Configuration / Init-Parameters:
    Note: If you use the @WebSocket annotation, these configuration settings can be specified on a per WebSocket basis, vs a per Servlet basis.

    maxIdleTime
    set the time in ms that a websocket may be idle before closing
    maxTextMessageSize
    set the size in UTF-8 bytes that a websocket may be accept as a Text Message before closing
    maxBinaryMessageSize
    set the size in bytes that a websocket may be accept as a Binary Message before closing
    inputBufferSize
    set the size in bytes of the buffer used to read raw bytes from the network layer
