Websocket sending Asynchronous messages to all the clients

[praveenv4k]

Hi,

I just tried the WebSocketServer Sample that comes with the library and now I would like to send event based messages asynchronously from the server to all the clients.
Do I need to have a list of clients that are now connected to the server to do it? Which is the best way to do this?

I have not yet done any concrete work, but this would be my line of thinking:

Whatever notification model you choose, the key to be able to scale (i.e. not waste a thread per observer) is to modify the sample request handler to only register/unregister with a global notification facility and die. Obviously, the global notification facility will have to maintain the list of registered web sockets and their associations with events of interest. See Notifications and Events for available notification options.

Hope this helps.
