Chat application

Red5 WebSocket chat application example.

The example index.html defaults to using a WebSocket connection to localhost on port 5080.

Add the WebSocket filter servlet to webapps that require WebSocket support

        <filter>
            <filter-name>WebSocketFilter</filter-name>
            <filter-class>org.red5.net.websocket.server.WsFilter</filter-class>
            <async-supported>true</async-supported>
        </filter>
        <filter-mapping>
            <filter-name>WebSocketFilter</filter-name>
            <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
            <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
            <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
        </filter-mapping>

Build the application from the command line with

mvn package

Deploy your application by copying the war file into your red5/webapps directory. If the war file does not deploy withing a few minutes, this may indicate the war deployer bean is not created or running; a work-around is to expand the war contents into the webapps directory manually and restart Red5.

After deploy is complete, go to http://localhost:5080/chat/ in your browser (open two tabs if you want to chat back and forth on the same computer).
