Does anyone know of a simple example of connecting to a web server using spring integration using a tcp socket? There are examples of simple socket communications in plain java with both the server and client instances. There are also examples of connecting a client to server entirely in spring integration. However, in my attempts to make a simple socket connection to a spring integration gateway by a plain java app the spring side sees the connection but fails out with a max message length exception. So far I cannot find an example that connects these 2 types together.
Thanks
Have a look at Using UDP and TCP Adapters in Spring Integration 2.0 M3.

I have read up on web sockets providing full duplex connections over TCP which can be used in scenarios where long polling was used to get live updates to client from server. Now I have a Tomcat based application which serves multiple REST based web service response, and I want couple of API's to be implemented using web sockets say to render dashboard with latest data where multiple users are working on them concurrently, is that possible ? My concern here was even if the connection was upgraded to TCP from HTTP wouldn't web socket require a separate port to run than the default Tomcat port 8080. In that case should I house the Web Socket based endpoints separate to the Tomcat based application already running. Please do correct me if any of the above is wrong.
A couple of month ago, I wrote a small Spring Boot webapp with embedded Tomcat that provides both, REST endpoints and websocket support, and both via the same port. So, yes that works... if you wanna sneak a peek: https://github.com/tommybrettschneider/pinterest-boot
Besides that, this post should also clarify things:
Shall I use WebSocket on ports other than 80?
I want to connect to a locally running TCP service from a web application I'm building using the Play framework and scala.
I'm not sure how to open this connection and send commands to it, should I be writing raw socket code? Also, how should I be managing the connection? Can I just open the connection once and send commands from each web request to it? What if the connection is closed or falls over?
Not sure Pay will be of much help here, most of its modules focus on HTTP communication. You should have a look at Akka-IO though.
I have a mozila.jss ssl socket and I'm using it for RMI connection.
I'm trying to convert the RMI connection to RMI-over-http connection using apache server with tomcat.
For the RMI-over-http I'm using RMIHttpsToCGISocketFactory.
The question is how can I use the JSS authentication (FIPS compatible) over HTTP.
I would appreciate any input on this subject
Thanks
I need to implement a TCP server with a web interface included for management.
Basically, the tcp server will be listening to new connections and keeping current ones active while the web interface allow me to see information regarding these connections and to interact with them (e.g. send messages and seeing received ones)...
My concerns resides in the "TCP Server" integration with the web application.
For received messages I could simple use a shared DB, but I need to send messages to the peers connected into the TCP server.
My best bet is currently on JCA. Some research pointed me to a nice sample: http://code.google.com/p/jca-sockets.
The sample uses an Message Driven Bean to deal with messages received over port 9000, acting as an echo server.
I am new in the Java EE 6 world. I trying to figure out why things were done in one way or another in the sample (e.g. why MDB?).
JCA has a fairly complicated spec. So I am trying at first to adapt the sample above to keep the connections active to exchange data. My next step will be adapt it to accept a string over a servlet to forward it to a given peer.
Can someone help me out on this?
Well, first of all, using Java EE with TCP is not the best approach you may use. If you just need a simple TCP service with Web UI you'd better consider using Java SE with some web container attached (undertow works well).
In other hand, if you need your application to integrate into existing Java EE infrastructure your company has, JCA would be the best approach. While it's not designed for such kind of things, JCA is the only EE subsystem liberal enough for that kind of thread management you would need for TCP networking to work.
JCA-Socket you're referring above is not the best example of a JCA app. It uses plain Java's blocking sockets by blocking WorkManager thread, this is not very effective. Things got much better now and we have Java NIO and Netty for highly effective raw networking to work upon. I have a JCA connector for TCP interactions which may provide you a skeleton to build your own. Feel free to extend and contribute.
P.S. About MDB: message-driven bean is the only "legal" JCA approach of asynchronous incoming messages handling. Since TCP is asynchronous, you'll definitely need one in your application for all the things to start working. Outcoming data transfers happen through various ConnectionFactory interfaces you'll inject into your bean. The link above will provide you with a reference ConnectionFactory implementation as well as a simple tester app utilizing both ConnectionFactory and MDB messaging approaches.
What is the best way to make a standalone java server built using J2SE Socket API high available? Using an HTTP server would have been a good choice specially for the built-in features e.g. security, clustering, transactions, etc. but the server should be capable of accepting TCP/IP socket connection from java & non-java clients (mainly legacy). Tomcat does not accept non-http TCP/IP requests? Moreover this post points out servlet for implementing socket connection it's not a good practice. What would be good approach?
After exploring online, this is what I have compe up with. A standalone java application can be made high available by using a combination of the following:
2 VM deployed with HAproxy and keepalived to form the highly available load balancing layer.
Keepalived will keep the load balancers in active-passive mode and the HAproxy will forward the requests to a cluster of backend socket based java server apps
At least 2 VM deployed with the custom socket based java server apps. The HAproxy servers will distribute the requests over these 2 VMs
Use at least 2 terracotta server to share the java server apps. Terracotta will provide the sharing of the memory and help the custom java servers to scale.
Use MySQL NDB Cluster for the database.
Any suggestions?
