Hi everyone! Is it possible to build a real-time app chat with Spring Boot and Websocket?
Hello and yes you can,
There’s even a short project on Spring’s docs to try it out:

Hey, you can use Websocket to share private messages. Here’s how to make it happen in your Java project.
To get started, you need two dependencies in your pom.xml file: spring-boot-starter-web and spring-boot-starter-websocket. These are enough to effortlessly receive messages from any corner of the world.
@Configuration
@EnableWebSocketMessageBroker
public class WebSocketConfiguration extends AbstractWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer{ @Override
public void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry registry) {
registry.addEndpoint("/socket")
.setAllowedOrigins("*")
.withSockJS();
}
@Override
public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry registry) {
registry.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/app")
.enableSimpleBroker("/chat");
}
}
Here you could find all this procedure step by step. Just take a look.
