Realtime Application using Spring Boot

Question

I am working on a mobile application and require following feature- When Admin App user changes status on the admin app, the user on the client app must get it updated in real-time (as we generally see in real-time delivery apps which show status of delivery). The backend is handled using Spring-boot application. I am familiar with the concept of Web Sockets and how to use them on mobile applications . But I am not familiar with the Web Socket configuration on the backend (Spring Boot Application).
I saw several articles related to simple chatting web applications but couldn't find much about such a scenario. Can anybody suggest how can I implement this on the backend, how exactly Web Socket APIs can be developed using Spring Boot and how the complete flow of data from one mobile to another mobile can be achieved?

Answer 1

A full description of how to do this is, in my opinion, beyond the scope of a SO answer, so I'll provide some links to resources you can use to build the knowledge instead:

• Spring WebSockets reference docs

• Example of a WebSockets app

• Baeldung tutorial
