  • EAP 6.4 & WebSockets with web server

    Posted on

    Hello, I already tried to ask about this here but since I haven't received any satisfactory response so far, I'm trying it here as well:

    Based on:
    - 16.2. Create a WebSocket Application
    - Does JBoss EAP support the use of WebSockets?
    - JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6 Supported Configurations - Red Hat Customer Portal
    - Does Red Hat / JBoss offer support for Apache, mod_jk, mod_proxy, or mod_cluster? - Red Hat Customer Portal (by the way why does this one mention mod_proxy as supported when the Supported Configurations document above doesn't mention mod_proxy at all?)
    - 4. Unsupported and Deprecated Features
    - Add support of websocket proxying. · modcluster/mod_cluster@e801c55 · GitHub
    - Make the websocket proxy switchable. · modcluster/mod_cluster@f1f68c5 · GitHub

    It seems that:
    - EAP 6.4 itself supports WebSockets
    - supported web server connectors mod_cluster 1.2.11 / mod_jk 1.2.40 don't support WebSockets
    - mod_cluster 1.3.1 supports WebSockets (without failover) via Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x mod_proxy_wstunnel but this configuration isn't supported by EAP 6.4
    - Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x mod_proxy_wstunnel alone (well, typically combined with mod_proxy_http + mod_proxy_balancer) supports WebSockets but this configuration isn't supported by EAP 6.4

    How is one supposed to achieve a supported configuration with web server and WebSockets?
