I have a websocket that I'm trying to connect to from a Java Client.
The method that I try to run is this:
public void connect() { try { WebSocketContainer container = ContainerProvider.getWebSocketContainer(); Session session = container.connectToServer(this, java.net.URI.create("wss://localhost:9010/settingsWS/")); session.isOpen(); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } Whenever it tries to connect, it always throws an exception. However, I know the websocket is up because I'm able to connect to it from a browser using the same URL. It seems similar to this problem, but in this case, adding the extra '/' at the end didn't make a difference.
Here's the stacktrace
