== 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.
