Establishing websocket connection between embedded Tomcat 8.0.3 and tomcat 7.0.53

Question

I'm trying to create a simple websocket client in Java. I have an embedded tomcat 8.0.3 server using springboot. The client is trying to connect to a server on another machine running tomcat 7.0.53. However I get the following error after trying to establish a websocket:

2014-07-02 11:13:56.861  INFO 13656 --- [nio-8085-exec-1] o.s.w.s.c.WebSocketConnectionManager     : Connecting to WebSocket at ws://54.213.202.109:8880/wspoc/ws/10

this is my client code

            WebSocketClient client = new StandardWebSocketClient();
            TopoWebSocketHandler handler = new TopoWebSocketHandler();
            String pathId = "ws://54.213.202.109:8880/wspoc/ws/10";
            WebSocketConnectionManager manager = new WebSocketConnectionManager(client, handler,pathId);
            manager.start();

And my handler class:

public class TopoWebSocketHandler extends AbstractWebSocketHandler {private WebSocketSession session;

        @Override
        public void handleTextMessage(WebSocketSession session,
            TextMessage message) throws Exception{

                System.out.println("Message "+message.getPayload());

        }

        @Override
        public void afterConnectionEstablished(WebSocketSession session) throws Exception{
                session.sendMessage(new TextMessage("Hello"));
        }
}

Is this some issue with using the embedded server vs standalone server for websockets?

I have quite similar issue and the same exception. Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24380364/java-tomcat-how-to-handle-websocket-setup-completion . Temporarely workarounded it, doing the connection in 3 seconds after server is up (in separate thread). — walv, Jul 03 '14 at 08:21
btw, your stack trace is not full. see the line 351 of http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat-websocket/8.0.3/org/apache/tomcat/websocket/WsWebSocketContainer.java . What type of exception you have (ExecutionException | InterruptedException | SSLException | EOFException | TimeoutException) ? — walv, Jul 03 '14 at 09:07
Just starting the connection in separate thread is enough, no need dirty 3 seconds delay. — walv, Jul 03 '14 at 11:12

We resolved it to a proxy issue, and the problem was seemingly unrelated to the nature of the embedded server/standalone server connection.
