Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server Liberty - WebSocket.                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A WebSocket might not connect when the  *
    *                      application flushes the response.       *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When a WebSocket application flushes the response without
    obtaining the javax.servlet.ServletResponse.getOutputStream or
    javax.servlet.ServletResponse.getWriter, the "101 Switch
    Protocols" status code is set in the response's header but not
    sent back to the client to indicate the server is going to
    switch protocols to WebSocket.  This problem does not happen in
    the following cases:
    1. The application does not flush the response itself
    2. The application calls the
    javax.servlet.ServletResponse.getOutputStream or the
    javax.servlet.ServletResponse.getWriter before flushing the
    response.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

  • 1. Do not flush the response
    2. Call the javax.servlet.ServletResponse.getOutputStream or
    javax.servlet.ServletResponse.getWriter before flushing the
    reponse.
