Hi, I am a newbie to websockets and servlets and also to this forum, so hello everyone.
I'm trying to implement websockets on my website. Its a web-mapping project and I already use Apache httpd 2.2.22 and Geoserver 2.1.3. Now, Apache does not support websockets, fact.
I've tried to install some websockets modules on Apache, but no luck at all. Then I installed Kaazing websocket gateway but its more about client side.
What is the best servlet to implement websockets? I was thinking about Tomcat. But, as they say "The API used for application development has not yet been finalised"
source
Jetty has not a build-in admin GUI and because I am a newbie, gets it out of the picture.
What servlet do you suggest that is newbie-friendly? Or should I use a servlet as a stand-alone server? But most of my files are php and html, so isnt this, a bit of overkill?
Should I connect Tomcat with Apache?
How about ActiveMq, is that a http server or a servlet? At least they say nothing about not finished API and comes with a build-in admin GUI console
Help me please, I just dont know what to do, I'm a mid-level web dev for a couple years now, but this websockets/servlets brought me on my knees, I am confused. Also my native language is Greek, so quickly understanding concepts and articles is kind of hard for me. Please provide suggestions or giudelines. Or better yet, simple tutorias.
Thank you so much
