Jelastic or Cloudbees support for websockets

Question

Does anyone know if it's possible to use websockets on Cloudbees or Jelastic. I deployed a Railo project with websockets on port 10126, it works beautifully on my Tomcat local setup however nothing happens when deployed to both Jelastic and Cloudbees.

Answer 1

At Jelastic we do. That is one of the outcomes of our making Public IPs available. We will be doing a short how-to article coming up this very topic. You can look out for it on our blog (http://blog.jelastic.com) or our twitter account (@jelastic).

Answer 2

Cloudbees now supports Websockets.

This is done via a proxy - so can work with any app via http upgrade.

simply set:

bees app:proxy:update http_version=1.1

as http 1.1 support Upgrade to websocket (thus ws and wss will work).

Answer 3

CloudBees now offers support for WebSockets - you just need to use a different endpoint to access your application: http://developer.cloudbees.com/bin/view/RUN/WebSockets

Answer 4

AFAIK, only dotCloud supports websockets for now: http://docs.dotcloud.com/guides/websockets/

Answer 5

Ok in my understanding with Jelastic they support running Websockets in GlassFish and can support Public IPs.

while Cloudbees supports running separate JVMs (plain java apps, no app server) but without Public IPs.

Here are some references:
