I have a Spring MVC application. UI makes some asynchronous requests to back end. Backend processes the requests and sends the response. Current implementation is done with the help of queues and listeners.
I want to replace it with Web Sockets.
I understand that JDK 7 supports websockets out of the box. But how would it work with Spring MVC?
My application gets deployed on different servers like Tomcat 6.0, WebSphere Application Server etc. Would it make any difference?
