With Errai you can do this because it provides intuitive API for signaling and messaging, and publish/subscribe mechanism. But if you want the persistence of messages you have to do it your own. To develop message delivery you don't need to persiste messages. You need persistence e.g. to cover offline requirements and re-send policy of messages. If you don't need to develop an "enterprise application" i think you need only a simple websocket client library to send messages and a websocket server (such as jetty) to receive messages. With these two components you just have a working chat system. With pure websockets you need to write some codes to implement a publish/subscribe pattern with topic. Your topic is the group of user interested the same stream of messages sent over websockets. In this way you can provides broadcast, multicast, and p2p messaging mechanism. If you don't know Errai framework i think you can get the job done with a simple websockets library, because you have to understand how Errai works.
