This isn't going to be quite as simple as I first thought. The WebSocket client API requires Java SE 7 or later. The WebSocket server API requires Java EE 6 or later. Java EE 6 requires Java 6 or later. The WebSocket server API depends on the WebSocket client API.
The WebSocket client implementation makes extensive use of new Java 7 non-blocking IO features. My conclusion from the above is that the back-port is going to require Java 7. That begs the question how to do that while keeping the main build Java 6 based. My (untested) plan is as follows: - Create a WebSocket module - Back-port (i.e. copy) the trunk code to that module - Build just that module with Java 7 - Make the minimum changes necessary to get it to work - Modify the back-ported SCI so it only adds the filter if Java 7 is detected (going to need to ensure the SCI is executable on Java 6) - Ship Tomcat 7 with the WebSocket JARs Comments?
