The WebSocket protocol does not include any concept of an authentication
challenge. I tested this recently and the browsers drop the connection
if they get a 401 response.

To get this working with Tomcat, the following *should* work but is
untested.

1. Create an HTTP session.
2. Authenticate the user
3. Start the web socket connection.

Provided the user/session is already authenticated, you should be able
to protect the WebSocket endpoints using normal Servlet security in web.xml.

HTH,
