I'd like to deploy a websocket server to a Tomcat container running on AWS Elastic Beanstalk using Ring. I'm not sure how to go about doing that, or if it is even possible without writing a Ring adapter that supports websockets.
I took a look at ring.util.servlet, and it looks like it only handles HttpServlet. In order to use websockets with Tomcat, I need to extend WebSocketServlet.
I know about http-kit, which looks really great, but I won't be able to deploy it to Elastic Beanstalk, as it can't run in an application container, but must run as a standalone app.
Has anyone deployed a websockets Ring app to Tomcat?
Yes, http-kit is meant to be used in lieu of Tomcat, but you can use a reverse proxy like nginx. If that's something you really don't want to do, you could consider using Pedestal with SSE instead of websockets.
Other than that, it doesn't look like there are any ring libs for websocket support, so you'd have to pioneer it yourself.
