Hi Andy,

I wanted to introduce new options first, but I dropped this approach, and I decided to simulate the old behavior of Jetty. The init-param entries in the web.xml file are now parsed by BaseX and assigned to the WebSocket instance when the first WebSocket connection is created [1].

As a consequence, existing Jetty 9 web.xml WebSocket configurations should work again. Feel free to check out the latest snapshot [2] to verify if that’s true.

Best,

Christian

PS: The docs have been updated, too [3].

Betreff: [basex-talk] Websocket configuration Basex 12

 

Hi,

I would like to increase the websocket message length from the default of 64 KB. 

The websocket documentation implies this can be done via web.xml [1] 

However, while searching for the syntax I came across the suggestion it is different with the Jetty version 12 API [2]

The Jetty docs have this example [3]

// Configure the ServerContainer.
            container.setDefaultMaxTextMessageBufferSize(128 * 1024);

but my quick code search of the BaseX source found nothing similar.

Is it possible to configure the webSocket  MaxTextMessageBufferSize in BaseX 12.0?
