wamp2spring

wamp2spring is a Java implementation of the WAMP v2 specification built on top of Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4.

WAMP is a WebSocket subprotocol that combines two messaging styles in one protocol:

• Remote Procedure Calls through the dealer role
• Publish/Subscribe messaging through the broker role

The current codebase is substantially more capable than the original wiki. In addition to the basic RPC and Pub/Sub workflow, it now includes separate servlet and reactive integrations, Spring Security integration, Spring Session integration for the servlet stack, a single shared routing scope instead of realm-based partitioning, multiple serializers, servlet long-poll transport, and a broader set of advanced WAMP profile features.

What the current project contains

The repository is split into focused modules:

• wamp2spring-core: core message model, routing, annotations, publisher API, authorization SPI
• wamp2spring-servlet: servlet/WebSocket integration for Spring MVC
• wamp2spring-reactive: reactive/WebSocket integration for Spring WebFlux
• wamp2spring-security-core: shared Spring Security integration pieces
• wamp2spring-security-servlet: servlet-specific security support
• wamp2spring-security-reactive: reactive-specific security support
• wamp2spring-session-servlet: Spring Session integration for servlet deployments

Highlights in the current line

• Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4 support
• Java 17 baseline
• A single shared routing scope for connections, subscriptions, registrations, and meta APIs
• WAMP authentication hooks with built-in providers for Ticket, WAMP-CRA, SCRAM, and dynamic authentication
• Spring Security authorization support for WAMP message flows
• Spring bean annotations for procedures and listeners: @WampProcedure and @WampListener
• WampPublisher bean for server-side event publication
• WebSocket serializers for JSON, MessagePack, CBOR, and Smile
• Servlet long-poll transport in addition to WebSocket
• Advanced profile support including timeout handling, cancellation, progressive results, publisher/subscriber filtering, and pattern matching
