title: Publish messages using Java WebSocket client to Apache Apollo topic
body: <p>I've setup an instance of Apache Apollo and I have a JavaScript client connected and subscribed to "chat.general". This shows up as a "topic" in the Apollo [web] Console.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to use a Java client to publish a message to that topic so my JavaScript client can receive it. I tried using netty-tools without luck, I was able to connect to apollo and then send a message but it never seemed to get to Apollo and I never received any errors.</p>
  
  <p>Now I'm trying to use the <a href="http://jfarcand.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/writing-websocket-clients-using-asynchttpclient/" rel="nofollow">async-http-client</a> with the same problem, I can connect but my message doesn't seem to get to the chat.general topic.</p>
  
  <p>I am setting up the "WebSocket" using the async-http-client (linked to above) using the following URI:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ws://admin:password@localhost:61623/topic/chat.general
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Has anyone else had luck publishing to a WebSocket topic on Apache Apollo from a Java client? If so, how :)</p>
