Implementing WebSocket in Java Swing Application

Question

I created a small java swing application and I want to use WebSocket for the transferring of data from the server to the client. Can someone give me a step by step instructions on how to do it? I'm using JBoss application server.

One Approach is to use Jetty WebSocket Client API, Hopping that you already implemented Server Side Web Socket

Tutorial

Maven Dependency org.eclipse.jetty.websocket websocket-client ${project.version}

  package examples;

 import java.net.URI;
 import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
 import org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.client.ClientUpgradeRequest;
 import org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.client.WebSocketClient;

 public class SimpleEchoClient {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String destUri = "ws://echo.websocket.org";
    if (args.length > 0) {
        destUri = args[0];
    }
    WebSocketClient client = new WebSocketClient();
    SimpleEchoSocket socket = new SimpleEchoSocket();
    try {
        client.start();
        URI echoUri = new URI(destUri);
        ClientUpgradeRequest request = new ClientUpgradeRequest();
        client.connect(socket, echoUri, request);
        System.out.printf("Connecting to : %s%n", echoUri);
        socket.awaitClose(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    } catch (Throwable t) {
        t.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        try {
            client.stop();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
}
