OK thanks. I will have a read ...
(not that I have any interest in a chat application mind you :) ).

I'm not sure why Henrik mentioned chat. The book explains how to write a basic multi-threaded socket server in Java. That's what attracted me to Java in the late 90's; multi-threaded socket serving. Java makes it easy.

A lot of socket servers you find on the Internet may be over engineered, and I suspect that jWebSocket may fall into that category. You might be better off rolling your own. Maybe all you need is something to accept client connections, forks to a thread that writes to a data queue, waits for a response, then responds to the client.
