This isn't really Tomcat-specific, but it might require a bit of configuration change from the default. I don't know a thing about Websocket other than vaguely how it works from an HTTP-upgrade-to-wide-open-byte-transfer-channel point of view. I know some of the use-cases it covers, but I'm not sure how I would get started. I'd love for someone to give a tour of some simple application to dissect it and describe what's going on. It could even be a "tour of the snake example" for all I care. I think some people think that presentations at e.g. ApacheCon need to be highly technical or complex, or presented by people whose names they recognize. I disagree. If someone will come and give a presentation on Websocket, I'll waive their registration fee[1]. - -chris [1] Note that all speakers get their registration fees waived. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJYfnDvAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYBjsP+wRlTQxG9ThwIkhIX9d8IhDl MBGbgOUDaZltywpppaZJA/rl6Ecbo59Opq1WlANaf3Mro18NyXRyXy9ghpKcls5Z y2ei72EAA/sfGqJxjoNixIwGE4SKV8WH7a3Uf4Hjn1TMRqiNloh5Aq8CVaWwHBxN C7evrN9w12ySL3UAGxAfisjudWY4SwuRL17AcWQb9USJ/kGL36OjVCnkyY1SAcjl FMZ0sgGFXZUqf6S41AGFRUqd0Ji397GJhEQH7XGgh+EGBXDlTTV/vdddbh34UaDZ Meti6p7eKSHynod3em2yrXBSXgRPjkeYL8w4s58+nby04XH91Nhgp8WIGXHms7dk LjmXUKB/GXV2vRVi+kTPW6+gumTT8aQkqY0SPkm8RpOFNfAGiY25oGwnP4O3bnkK wBVyv9pFmm66G/igVg3L9mF9fUPBXeNldEt/2R9zVd7IyBIVNL+bD3siAZm17kxK j9kG6JF9APndbPsH4qxzOPsQ1E/l7ifYMOUsatylBA84ofjuuyRJKKaqvP6hvnm8 0Awm23Kje4v5olYFaFZ/wDq1Ewrv4YoY2Hoi/KomOxLI/BQ3VzHPQyDzlgin+2em jnlIKpc8A13MMCuIbdoRTlQ4XI7sfU8bLTmATUwLQBSgGxDQ8Ys6Y/KEwOR5LTn8 07NmHnZuG1AfasveRvtR =Mjfz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
