There is an implementation for websockets in Vysper:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=mina-vysper.git;a=tree;f=server/extensions/websockets;hb=HEAD

That said, it most likely needs updating to reflect the latest
websocket spec (update the Jetty dependency should be a good start),
and possibly to the XMPP over websocket spec.

Last year I took a look into updating the Websocket stuff but it
wasn't too easy. I found Tomcat and Jetty not really easily
approachable in terms of Websocket.
For another project I just took Netty's Websocket module and it took
just a few lines. Perspectively, having a native MINA Websocket
implementation would definitively be the best approach and at least
the prefered solution for Vysper.
