The SockJS library provides cross-browser JavaScript API to enable low latency, cross-domain communication between the browser and server. It aims to support the following goals:
- Instead of using the
WebSocketinstance, theSockJSinstance is used - It provides APIs that are close to the
WebSocketAPI, both for server as well as client-side APIs - Faster communication support
- JavaScript for client side
- It comes with some chosen protocols that support cross-domain communication
The following code snippet shows us how to enable the SockJS library support for WebSocketConfigure:
@Override
public void registerWebSocketHandlers(WebSocketHandlerRegistry
registry)
{
registry.addHandler(myHandler(), "/myHandler_sockjs").setAllowedOrigins("*").withSockJS();
} We can also configure in XML as follows:
<websocket:handlers>
<websocket:mapping path="/myHandler"
handler="myHandler_sockjs"/>
<websocket:sockjs/>
</websocket:handlers> We can update the Capital...
