Best Java framework for server side WebSockets [closed]

Answer 1

FYI, Atmosphere run on top of Resin, GlassFish and Jetty. Atmosphere free you from being stuck with one server by giving you Websocket portability amongst Websocket server. It also offer a client library that can be select the best transport in case websocket isn't supported by the browser. So you can't compare Atmosphere with Jetty or Rsin

Answer 2

jWebSocket now includes the Jetty 8.0 engine including SSL and includes many nice-to-haves on top of it. It provides cross-browser and cross-platform compatible clients even more mobile apps e.g. under Android, Symbian and BlackBerry. The server can easily be extended with plug-in and already includes lots of them (e.g. for Authentication/Autorization, JDBC, SMTP, XMPP/Jabber, RPC, Twitter, Filesharing, Chat etc.). Just check it out... http://jwebsocket.org. Looking forward to your feedback.
