package com.mycompany.angularws;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.websocket.OnClose;
import javax.websocket.OnMessage;
import javax.websocket.OnOpen;
import javax.websocket.Session;
import javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint;
@ServerEndpoint("/atpendpoint")
public class ATPWSEndpoint {
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(ATPWSEndpoint.class.getName());
private static Set<Session> peers = Collections.synchronizedSet(new HashSet<Session>());
@OnMessage
public String onMessage(String message) {
if (message != null) {
if (message.equals("HELLO SERVER")) {
return "{\"hello\": \"Hello, if you need the ATP list just press the button ...\"}";
} else if (message.equals("ATP SERVER")) {
return "[{\"name\": \"Nadal, Rafael (ESP)\", \"email\": \"nadalrafael@gmail.com\", \"rank\": \"1\"},"
+ "{\"name\": \"Djokovic, Novak (SRB)\", \"email\": \"djokovicnovak@gmail.com\", \"rank\": \"2\"},"
+ "{\"name\": \"Federer, Roger (SUI)\", \"email\": \"federerroger@gmail.com\", \"rank\": \"3\"},"
+ "{\"name\": \"Wawrinka, Stan (SUI)\", \"email\": \"wawrinkastan@gmail.com\", \"rank\": \"4\"},"
+ "{\"name\": \"Ferrer, David (ESP)\", \"email\": \"ferrerdavid@gmail.com\", \"rank\": \"5\"}]";
}
}
return "";
}
@OnOpen
public void onOpen(Session peer) {
LOG.info("Connection opened ...");
peers.add(peer);
}
@OnClose
public void onClose(Session peer) {
LOG.info("Connection closed ...");
peers.remove(peer);
}
}And, we access this endpoint like this:
- the client sends a hello message (HELLO SERVER), and the server answers with a simple text (Hello, if you need the ATP list just press the button ...).
- the client send another message, (ATP SERVER), and the server answers with a JSON object containing a list of tennis players
- the client will display this list in a table
