The WebSocket How-To page at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/web-socket-howto.html has two links under the Application development header within the sentence: "There are several example applications that demonstrate how the WebSocket API can be used. You will need to look at both the client side HTML and the server side code". The HTML and code links are broken. When you click either link, you receive this error: An Exception Has Occurred Unknown location: /tomcat/trunk/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes/websocket HTTP Response Status 404 Not Found The same issue exists on other Tomcat versions' WebSocket How-To pages.
Fixed in: - master for 10.0.0-M4 onwards - 9.0.x for 9.0.34 onwards - 8.5.x for 8.5.54 onwards - 7.0.x for 7.0.104 onwards
Mark, thank you. This is still failing for me. I did hard page reloads, cleared browser cache and so on. Even tried it from a browser I never use, knowing that caching would not be a factor. Do you know when the fix will be made public? Also, in the mean time, could you post the updated link locations for the two pages?
The tomcat-X.Y-doc pages always reflect the most recent Tomcat release so those pages will be updated with the next round of releases - typically around the 2nd week of the month. The latest version is always available from the CI system which, for Tomcat 9, can be found at: https://ci.apache.org/projects/tomcat/tomcat9/docs/web-socket-howto.html
