WebSocket API Chat Room using JSR 356

ChatServerWebSocketEndpoint

package com.example.websocket;

import javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.net.websocket.Endpoint;
import javax.net.websocket.Session;

import com.example.ChatRoom;


public class ChatServerWebSocketEndpoint extends Endpoint{

    @Inject @ApplicationScoped 
    ChatRoom room;
    

    @Override
    public void onOpen(Session session) {
        session.addMessageHandler(new ChatWebsocketMessageHandler(session, room));
    }
    

}

The ChatServerWebSocketEndpoint binds a ChatWebsocketMessageHandler to the WebSocket session.

The ChatWebsocketMessageHandler uses a chatRoom to send a message to other clients, when it gets a message.

package com.example.websocket;


import javax.net.websocket.MessageHandler;
import javax.net.websocket.Session;

import com.example.ChatMessage;
import com.example.ChatRoom;

public class ChatWebsocketMessageHandler implements MessageHandler.Text {

    ChatRoom chatRoom;
    Session session;
    
    public ChatWebsocketMessageHandler(Session session, ChatRoom chatRoom) {
        this.session = session;
        this.chatRoom = chatRoom;
    }

    @Override
    public void onMessage(String message) {
        chatRoom.sendMessage(new ChatMessage(message, session));
    }

}

The ChatWebsocketMessageHandler wraps the message in a ChatMessage. The ChatMessage parses what type of chat message this is.

ChatMessage

package com.example;

import javax.net.websocket.Session;

public class ChatMessage {
    static enum MessageType{REMOVE_CLIENT, SEND_MESSAGE, ADD_CLIENT};

    String message;
    Session session;
    MessageType type;
    String clientId;
    
 
    public MessageType getType() {
        return type;
    }

    public String getClientId() {
        return clientId;
    }

    public ChatMessage(MessageType type, String clientId) {
        
    }
    public ChatMessage(String strMessage, Session session) {
        
        String[] strings = strMessage.split("::::");
        clientId = strings[1];
        this.session = session;


        if (strMessage.startsWith("remove client::::")) {
            type = MessageType.REMOVE_CLIENT;
            this.session = session;
        } else if (strMessage.startsWith("send message::::")) {
            type = MessageType.SEND_MESSAGE;
            message = strings[2];
        } else if (strMessage.startsWith("add client::::")) {
            type = MessageType.ADD_CLIENT;
        } else {
            System.err.println("ACK... Don't understand your message!!!!! "
                    + message);
        }
    }

    public final String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }
    public final Session getSession() {
        return session;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "ChatMessage [message=" + message + ", session=" + session
                + ", type=" + type + ", clientId=" + clientId + "]";
    }

}
