Tomcat supports Websockets since 7.0.27, but I think it is not possible to use 
Websockets over AJP because of the design of the AJP protocol (it doesn't allow 
concurrent reading and writing). For IIS, it should support Websockets since 
IIS 8.0 (Win Server 2012), but I didn't have time to try it out.
So you probably would need your clients to connect directly to Tomcat for using 
Websockets.

I'm currently working on an idea of a SPDY/3 Connector for IIS (as a possible 
replacement over the AJP conenctor), which is written in C# (using .Net 4.0). 
SPDY allowes for multiple streams on one TCP connection, so you would only need 
one open Connection to backend, and it should also allow to tansport Websocket 
connections (but that connector implementation does not yet have support for 
it).

If you want to take a look at it, you can find the thread of the dev-list here: 
http://markmail.org/message/q335rbpoylymr77q

Note that Tomcat seems to not yet have support for SPDY/3, but only SPDY/2, so 
unfortunately it is currently not possible to test the connector with Tomcat - 
but it should work with Jetty.

Konstantin Preißer
