I'm trying out atmosphere on tomcat 6 but only long polling works not websockets. The message i receive in the console output is
Tomcat failed to detect this is a Comet application because context.xml is missing or the Http11NioProtocol Connector is not enabled.
Any info on this would be appreciated, thanks
Update: After modifying web.xml and server.xml the error message goes but the chat application always fallsback to long polling - I've tried several different .war deployments of websocket demos and they all behave the same.
I tried Tomcat 7 also, but it still uses long polling.

Make sure you only have one implementation of CometProcessor defined in your classpath. You may want to remove catalina.jar from your webpass if it's bundled in. See this thread for more info:
