JBoss EAP 6.1上的Atmosphere和WebSocket

Question

I'm trying to deploy the standard Atmosphere chat sample (you can find source code here and war here ) on JBoss EAP 6.1.

Atmosphere is supposed to handle WebSocket Protocol when available or to fallback to long-polling when not.

Chat works, but using long-polling: JBoss seems not to support WebSocket , but there is ( here ) a suggested way to enable it by adding Tomcat Native Connector (aka APR).

I followed those instructions with no luck.

That's what happens when I deploy that war (building it by myself doesn't change anything):

Client-side: Google Chrome 35.0.1916.114

As soon as I load the page:

Invoking executeWebSocket atmosphere.js:3002
Using URL: ws://localhost:8080/atmosphere-chat/chat?X-Atmosphere-tracking-id=0&X-Atmosphere-Framework=2.2.0-javascript&X-Atmosphere-Transport=websocket&X-Atmosphere-TrackMessageSize=true&X-Cache-Date=0&Content-Type=application/json&X-atmo-protocol=true atmosphere.js:3002

WebSocket not connected. atmosphere.js:3002
Websocket failed. Downgrading to Comet and resending atmosphere.js:3002
Websocket failed. Downgrading to Comet and resending atmosphere.js:3002

Server-side: JBoss EAP 6.1

The deployment succeds, but as soon as I load the web page JBoss outputs this:

[org.atmosphere.container.JBossWebCometSupport] (http-/127.0.0.1:8080-7) HttpEvent is null, JBoss APR Not Properly installed
[org.atmosphere.cpr.AtmosphereFramework] (http-/127.0.0.1:8080-7) Failed using comet support: org.atmosphere.container.JBossWebCometSupport, error: JBoss failed to detect this is a Comet application because the APR Connector is not enabled. 
Make sure atmosphere-compat-jboss.jar is not under your WEB-INF/lib and You must use the atmosphere-native-runtime dependency in order to use native Comet Support
there is no context.xml under WEB-INF Is the NIO or APR Connector enabled?

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Edit:

As I wrote, I've followed the instructions here: https://github.com/Atmosphere/atmosphere/wiki/Installing-JBoss-WebSocket-Support , but nothing changed. My main obstacle is the installation of APR. May anybody explain in detail me how to install it on windows?

Thank you!

Answer 1

As said here support for websockets on Jboss starts from EAP 6.3.

However I tested the .war you linked on Tomcat 8.0.15 and it works like a charm, so I think you can easily find another WS/AS that supports web sockets.

Hope this helped.

You need to enable your APR from JBoss server. For this go to Jboss/Domain/configuration folder and edit the domain.xml file. find make native ="false" to native ="true".

if this does not work then do the same thing to standalone.xml file.
