• Request/Response multiplexing
• Binary Framing
• Stream Prioritization
• Server Push
• Header Compression
• Upgrade from HTTP 1.1
• ALPN (or NPN)
• 101 Switching Protocols

HTTP/2 Big Ticket Feature Review

HTTP/2 Server Push
• Eliminates the need for resource inlining.
• Lets the server populate the browser’s cache in advance of the browser
asking for the resource to put in the cache.
• No corresponding JavaScript API, but can be combined with SSE
– Server pushes stuff into the browser’s cache.
– Server uses SSE to tell the browser to go fetch it (but we know it’s already in the
browser’s cache).

HTTP/2 Request Response Multiplexing
• Fully bi-directional
• Enabled by defining some terms
– Connection
A TCP socket
– Stream
A “channel” within a connection
– Message
A logical message, such as a request or a response
– Frame
The smallest unit of communication in HTTP/2.
10
Lets you do more things with a single TCP connection

11
Connections, Streams, Messages, Frames

• Once you break the communication down into frames, you can interweave
the logical streams over a single TCP connection.
• Yet another idea from the 1960s is new again.

HTTP/2 Binary Framing
• Solves Head-Of-Line (HOL) blocking problem
• Type field can be DATA, HEADERS, PRIORITY, RST_STREAM, SETTINGS,
PUSH_PROMISE, PING, GOAWAY, WINDOW_UPDATE, CONTINUATION
13
Enabled by dumping newline delimited ASCII
Length (24)
Type (8) Flags (8)
R Stream Identifier (31)
Frame Payload (0 …)

• Binary Framing
• Server Push
– ALPN or (NPN)
– 101 Switching Protocols

– 101 Switching Protocols
16
HTTP/2 Features Potentially Exposed in Servlet API

• Push resource to client for a given url and headers
• May add callback for completion or error of a push
• Not at all a replacement for WebSocket
• Really useful for frameworks that build on Servlet, such as JSF

ServletResponse resp) throws IOException, ServletException {
//..
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) req;
try {
ResourceHandler handler =
context.getApplication().getResourceHandler();

handler.handleResourceRequest(context);
} else {
lifecycle.attachWindow(context);
lifecycle.execute(context);
lifecycle.render(context);
}
}

Example of Potential Use from JSF

Server Push
public class ExternalContextImpl extends ExternalContext {
//…
public String encodeResourceURL(String url) {
if (null == url) {
String message = MessageUtils.getExceptionMessageString
(MessageUtils.NULL_PARAMETERS_ERROR_MESSAGE_ID, "url");
throw new NullPointerException(message);
}
Map attrs = getResourceAttrs();
((HttpServletRequest) request).dispatchPushRequest(url, attrs);
return ((HttpServletResponse) response).encodeURL(url);
}
//…

Adopt-a-JSR
• Community Tab on JSR-369 page https://jcp.org/en/egc/view?id=369
– JIRA Components: currently we have none. Come up with a list of components for us!
– Use-cases for session-less applications
– List of references to async and thread safety in the spec and javadoc
– You can think of others!
