Abstract
Embodiments provide clustering of websocket communications with configurable master-slave servers. A centralized document service accessible to each server functions as a repository for cluster server information, cluster master server IP address, and security information. Upon receiving a first input, a server references the document service to create a first websocket handler as the master (e.g., utilizing a flag). Upon receiving a second input, a different server references the document service to create a slave websocket handler. Using master server IP address information from the document service, the slave websocket handler establishes a websocket cluster channel with the master websocket handler. Additional websocket channels with the master websocket hander may be established as further inputs are received and slave websocket handlers created. Allowing configuration as masters or slaves on a per-cluster basis, allows servers to function in dual roles, avoiding the bottleneck of requiring a same master server for all clusters.
