I am simply following the example here: javax.websocket client simple example

My maven repository looks like:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax/javaee-api -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>javax</groupId>
  <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
  <version>7.0</version>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.glassfish.tyrus/tyrus-container-jdk-client -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.glassfish.tyrus</groupId>
  <artifactId>tyrus-container-jdk-client</artifactId>
  <version>1.13</version>
</dependency>

But I cannot understand the error message:

What is the problem?

  • from the stacktrace it seems like you might not have @ClientEndpoint annotation on your client endpoint. Also, you don't need the javaee-api dependency, it will be transitively downloaded from tyrus. – Pavel Bucek Aug 05 '16 at 18:47
  • I figured out that annotation problem, but now the code seems stuck at this one line: `container.connectToServer(this, endpointURI);`. I am not sure why this line is an infinite loop (or whatever) in the code. And I am going to use javaee-api dependency to use the json library later. – Flair Aug 06 '16 at 17:46
