WebSockets GWT

WebSockets for GWT This project is intended to create a bit more than just a simple implementation of the html5 websocket-standard for gwt. Indeed there is just a plain implementation you are free to use, just take a look in the "de.csenk.gwtws.client.js" subpackage. But why use just plain websockets? There are several drawbacks like you are only be able to transmit UTF-8 strings through the websocket connection. Inspired by the http://mina.apache.org project gwt-ws provides some high level functionality to handle websockets and transmit data.
