Websocket support
One of the most attractive features is JSF 2.3 added native websocket support, it means you can write real-time applications with JSF and no need extra effort.To enable websocket support, you have to add
javax.faces.ENABLE_WEBSOCKET_ENDPOINT in web.xml.<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.ENABLE_WEBSOCKET_ENDPOINT</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
Hello Websocket
Let's start with a simple example.@ViewScoped
@Named("helloBean")
public class HelloBean implements Serializable {
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(HelloBean.class.getName());
@Inject
@Push
PushContext helloChannel;
String message;
public void sendMessage() {
LOG.log(Level.INFO, "send push message");
this.sendPushMessage("hello");
}
private void sendPushMessage(Object message) {
helloChannel.send("" + message + " at " + LocalDateTime.now());
}
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
public void sendMessage2() {
// log.log(Level.INFO, "send push message from input box::" + this.message);
this.sendPushMessage(this.message);
}
}
PushContext with @Push qualifier.<!DOCTYPE html>

sendMessage and sendMessage2 will call sendPushMessage which utilizes the injected pushContext to send messages to the defined channel.In the facelets template,
onmessage indicates which handlers(onMessage method) will be used when messages is comming from the specified channel(helloChannel).onMessage method will add the message body from websocket channel and put it into the content of message block.Run this application on Glassfish, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/jsf-websocket/hello.faces.
Try click first button or input some messages and click the second button, the response message from server side will be displayed.
Scope
f:websocket has an attribute scope which accepts application, session, or view as its value, it is not difficult to understand.Another attribute
user can be used for identifying
different client users, it can be a user id or serializable object that
stands for a user. It is useful to communicate with a specific user.Create a backing bean.

Event
JSF 2.3 provides aWebsocketEvent, in the backend codes, you can observe it when it is opened (via CDI @Opened qualifier) or closed(via CDI @Closed qualifier).@ApplicationScoped
public class WebsocketObserver {
@Inject
Logger LOG;
public void onOpen(@Observes @Opened WebsocketEvent opened) {
LOG.log(Level.INFO, "event opend::{0}", opened);
}
public void onClose(@Observes @Closed WebsocketEvent closed) {
LOG.log(Level.INFO, "event closed::{0}", closed);
}
}
onmessage attribute of f:websocket, it also provides other two attributes onopen and onclose to listen the websocket connection when it is opened or closed. connected allow you set it disconnected by default, and use JSF built-in jsf.push.open() to connect to server side manually.Create a simple backing bean.
@ViewScoped
@Named("eventBean")
public class EventBean implements Serializable {
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(EventBean.class.getName());
@Inject
@Push
PushContext eventChannel;
public void sendMessage() {
eventChannel.send("event message was sent at::" + LocalDateTime.now());
}
}

You can see the logs in your browser console.
And the IDE console, you can see the log from
WebsocketObserver.Info: event opend::WebsocketEvent[channel=eventChannel, user=null, closeCode=null]
...
Info: event closed::WebsocketEvent[channel=eventChannel, user=null, closeCode=NORMAL_CLOSURE]
Ajax
f:websocket can be bridged with f:ajax event attribute, and allow you trigger ajax event from websocket.@ViewScoped
@Named("ajaxBean")
public class AjaxBean implements Serializable {
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(AjaxBean.class.getName());
@Inject
@Push
PushContext ajaxChannel;
@Inject

messages.add("ajaxListenerEvent is sent at: " + LocalDateTime.now());

</html>
f:ajax event name as content.Another alternative here, use
h:commandScript(newly added in JSF 2.3) with f:websocket instead, setonmessage handler as the name attribute of h:commandScript.Run this application on Glassfish, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/jsf-websocket/ajax.faces.
Security
In JSF internally, JSF expose a default endpoint(/javax.faces.push/channelName) to serve the websocket connections. You can protect it as other web resources.<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Restrict access to role USER.</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/user/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/javax.faces.push/foo</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>USER</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
