Hi
In Camel 2.10 we introduce a new component: camel-websocket.
Its currently based on Jetty, and thus requires jetty to be used.
In recent time the component was enhanced to support SSL with websocket as
well. That change brings in a lot of code that was
copied directly from the existing camel-jetty component.
So I wonder if we should consider
1)
Merge the code from camel-websocket into camel-jetty, as its all Jetty
based.
This avoid duplicated code,
This allows to share port numbers with http services and websocket.
Currently that is not possible as its 2 different components.
2)
Change the component name from websocket, so its part of jetty, eg
from("websocket:foo")
becomes
from("jetty:ws:foo")
The current jetty component supports
- http
- https
So adding websocket is a matter of having
- ws
- wss
3)
In the future there will be other websocket implementations/components in
Camel. For example the Atmosphere framework seems to be a great framework
for that. As well with future releases of the JEE spec may introduce
websocket support from a spec point of view.
So having camel-websocket that is tied to Jetty seems to tie the "generic"
websocket name to a specific implementation (jetty).
Any thoughts?
