JarCastingSimple WebSocket Client 
DEPRECATED
Was a POC, that is no longer maintained.
The JSR 356 describes a standard API for WebSocket Server and clients, but the client API is very complex. This project aims to offer a simplified client.
Get started
Add the following to your pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.wessendorf.websocket</groupId>
<artifactId>simple-client</artifactId>
<version>0.8.0</version>
</dependency>
The library is a simplified version of a WebSocket client, based on the JSR 356 client APIs, basically hiding some of the standard APIs for an easy and simple usage:
final SimpleWebSocketClient client =
new SimpleWebSocketClient("ws://localhost:9999/echo");
client.setWebSocketHandler(new WebSocketHandlerAdapter() {
@Override
public void onOpen() {
client.sendText("Hello"); // ship it!!
}
@Override
public void onMessage(String message) {
assertThat(message).isEqualTo("Hello");
// close it now:
client.close();
}
});
// connect
client.connect();
//send a text:
client.sendText("Hello again!");
Have fun!
