@Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Target(value=TYPE) public @interface ClientEndpoint
The ClientEndpoint annotation a class level annotation is used to denote that a POJO is a web socket client and can be deployed as such. Similar toServerEndpoint
, POJOs that are annotated with this annotation can have methods that, using the web socket method level annotations, are web socket lifecycle methods.For example:
@ClientEndpoint(subprotocols="chat") public class HelloServer { @OnMessage public void processMessageFromServer(String message, Session session) { System.out.println("Message came from the server ! " + message); } }
