This article shows how to configure and use Siwpas Web Socket Protocol using a sample web socket web application.
Requirements:
- Siwpas 2.0.0, can be downloaded from http://siwpas.mechsoft.com.tr/. To use the Siwpas, you also have to get a trial license from Get Siwpas Trial License
- Firefox Aurora from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/channel/ that supports web socket protocol latest version. In fact, you can use any client that suppors the web socket protocol (Currently Siwpas implements “draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol-07”.)
- Web socket sample application can be downloaded from here. This sample web application provides two applications:
- Basic Echo Server to echo your input
- Basic Chat Server. This chat server client code is written via getting code from HTML5 Labs Chat Demo

- Enable Web Socket Connector
- Open "SIWPAS_HOME/server.xml"
- Uncomment the Web Socket Connector
- Put trial license file "siwpas.license" into the SIWPAS_HOME/licenses folder
- Put sample web application archive"siwpas-websocket-sample.war" into the "SIWPAS_HOME/webapps" folder
- Go into "SIWPAS_HOME/bin" and start the Siwpas
- /bin/siwpas.bat run
Open Applications:
- Echo Application : http://localhost:8080/siwpas-websocket-sample/simple.html
- Chat Application : http://localhost:8080/siwpas-websocket-sample/chat.html
- Open several instances of Firefox or even install several Siwpas instances into the other machines in your domain, and enjoy the chat application.
