Installing JBoss WebSocket Support

To enable Atmosphere websocket support in JBoss, add the following dependencies to your pom:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.atmosphere</groupId>
    <artifactId>atmosphere-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.atmosphere.jboss.as</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-as-websockets</artifactId>
    <version>0.2</version>
</dependency>

Because jboss-websockets works with AS 7.1.2+ only, you need to build it also like this

git clone https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as.git
cd jboss-as/
git checkout 7.1.2.Final
./build.sh -DskipTest

And finally, APR should be enabled as described by Mike Brock:

To Configure APR in JBoss AS 7.1.x:

In domain/configuration/domain.xml: Change Line:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">           

to:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="true">
