Kaazing has released Kaazing Gateway — an open source HTML 5 WebSocket Server. The HTML 5 WebSocket specification is a standard that attempts to simplify much of the complexity around achieving bi-directional communications between browsers and servers. The specification provides a simple JavaScript interface that enables developers to open a full-duplex socket connection and connect directly to any TCP-based back-end service (for example, JMS, JMX, IMAP, Jabber, and so on).

Kaazing Gateway makes it possible for developers to take advantage of WebSockets today by providing a JavaScript library that emulates the HTML 5 WebSocket, making it possible to build applications that leverage the WebSocket interface and that can be deployed to both modern and future browsers.
