+== Websocket (WS) IO
+
+APEX supports the Websockets as input as well as output.
+WS IO is supported by the APEX Websocket plugin.
+This carrier technology does only support uni-directional communication.
+APEX will not send events to a Websocket input and any event sent to a Websocket output will result in an error log.
+
+The input can be configured as client (APEX connects to an existing Websocket server) or server (APEX starts a Websocket server).
+The same applies to the output.
+Input and output can both use a client or a server configuration, or separate configurations (input as client and output as server, input as server and output as client).
+Each configuration should use its own dedicated port to avoid any communication loops.
+The configuration of a Websocket client is the same for input and output.
+The configuration of a Websocket server is the same for input and output.
+
+
+=== Websocket Client
+
+APEX will connect to a given Websocket server.
+As input, it will receive events from the server but not send any events.
+As output, it will send events to the server and any event received from the server will result in an error log.

+
+== BCP: Websocket Configuration
+
+The probably best is to configure APEX for Websocket servers for input (ingress, consume) and output (egress, produce) interfaces.
+This means that APEX will start Websocket servers on named ports and wait for clients to connect.
+Advantage: once APEX is running all connectivity infrastructure is running as well.
+Consequence: if APEX is not running, everyone else is in the dark, too.
+
+The best protocol to be used is JSON string.
+Each event on any interface is then a string with a JSON encoding.
+JSON string is a little bit slower than byte code, but we doubt that this will be noticeable.
+A further advantage of JSON strings over Websockets with APEX starting the servers: it is very easy to connect web browsers to such a system.
+Simple connect the web browser to the APEX sockets and send/read JSON strings.
+
+Once APEX is started you simply connect Websocket clients to it, and send/receive event.
+When APEX is terminated, the Websocket servers go down, and the clients will be disconnected.
+APEX does not (yet) support auto-client reconnect nor WAMP, so clients might need to be restarted or reconnected manually after an APEX boot.

+== Websocket Example Code for Websocket clients (FOSS)
+
+There are a lot of implementations and examples available on Github for Websocket clients.
+If one is using Java EE 7, then one can also use the native Websocket implementation.
+Good examples for clients using simply Java SE are here:
+
+- link:https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket[Websocket implementation]
+- link:https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/blob/master/src/main/example/ChatClient.java[Websocket sending client example, using AWT]
+- link:https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/blob/master/src/main/example/ExampleClient.java[Websocket receiving client example (simple echo client)]
+
+For Java EE, the native Websocket API is explained here:

+== Websockets
+
+Websocket is a protocol to run sockets of HTTP.
+Since it in essence a socket, the connection is realized between a server (waiting for connections) and a client (connecting to a server).
+Server/client separation is only important for connection establishment, once connected, everyone can send/receive on the same socket (as any standard socket would allow).
+
+Standard Websocket implementations are simple, no publish/subscribe and no special event handling.
+Most servers simply send all incoming messages to all connections.
+There is a PubSub definition on top of Websocket called link:http://wamp-proto.org/[WAMP].
+APEX does not support WAMP at the moment.

+== Websocket in Java
+
+In Java, link:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jsr356-1937161.html[JSR 356] defines the standard Websocket API.
+This JSR is part of Jave EE 7 standard.
+For Java SE, several implementations exist in open source.
+Since Websockets are a stable standard and simple, most implementations are stable and ready to use.
+A lot of products support Websockets, like Spring, JBoss, Netty, … there are also Kafka extensions for Websockets.
