The examples web application includes three samples. One just echoes
messages back, one is a chat application and one is a multi-player game
of snake (I just love that Tomcat now ships with a game by default -
kudos to Johno Crawford who wrote it).

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes/websocket/
and
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/webapps/examples/websocket/

As an aside, I migrated the examples from the current Tomcat 7 WebSocket
implementation to the JSR-356 implementation. With an IDE to do most of
the renaming required, it didn't take long at all.

8.0.0-RC1 is available to download. The formal release announcement will
be going out just as soon as I finish going through all the e-mail in my
inbox.
