Upcoming Spring Framework version 4.0.0 contains new support for WebSockets. WebSockets are quite low level feature as described in http://blog.springsource.org/2013/05/22/spring-framework-4-0-m1-websocket-support.

The Spring's WebSockets support consists of some container-specific classes. Unfortunately Spring provides implementation only for Jetty, Glassfish and Tomcat 8 containers (see http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/4.0.0.M2/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/socket/server/RequestUpgradeStrategy.html)

Do we want this Spring's WebSocket support to work with EAP 6 as well ?
