public class MessagingServlet

The MessagingServlet is part of the optional Real-Time Messaging module. This servlet handles asynchronous delivery of real-time messages to the client. For real-time messaging to work, this servlet must be registered in you web.xml and configured to intercept the following url-pattern: /isomorphic/messaging/*

Configuration of this servlet is controlled entirely through server.properties. Refer to the Real-Time Messaging QuickRef for configuration options an details.

NOTE: This servlet is configured to automatically set character encoding on requests and responses to UTF-8. If you wish to force a different encoding, you can do so by specifying an init-param in your web.xml file, like so:

 <servlet>
   <servlet-name>MessagingServlet</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>com.isomorphic.messaging.MessagingServlet</servlet-class>
   <init-param>
     <param-name>encoding</param-name>
     <param-value>some-other-encoding</param-value>
   </init-param>
 </servlet>
 

If you wish to switch off explicit encoding altogether, use the init-param to set a value of "none".

Please see the client-side documentation on Internationalization for a discussion of why this procedure is necessary.
