Play2 create client websocket

Question

How can I create client WebSocket in Play2 using Scala?

Should I use external library? I found: http://backchatio.github.io/hookup/

Do you know any alternatives?

Answer 1

I believe play currently lacks client side web sockets but this may change in future as Akka-HTTP is integrated with play. However for now since you can call java from scala you can use javax.websocket or jboss.netty.

A good example for Play 2 Scala Websocket (both client-side and server-side) can be found here:
