Is there a way to use WebSockets on IBM WebSphere Application Server?

I am migrating a web application based on Apache Tomcat 7.0.35 using the WebSocket Servlets to IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS). The problem is that I don't think WAS supports WebSockets.

You can also try embedding the Jetty Web Server on the java application to run on your WebSphere Application Server - http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/embedding-jetty.html. Another option is to make use of a WebSockets implementation (e.g. Wabbit), or make use of an Application Server that supports the Java EE 7 specs, like IBM WAS 9.

You can try the WebSphere Liberty 8.5.5.4 -- this supports WebSockets. See announcement here.

WAS doesn't support WebSockets as stated on an IBM forum here. What you can do is to investigate if you can deploy in WAS one of the WebSockets server implementations (check this list).
