you can use javax.websocket and implement an endpoint. you can then connect to this endpoint. when you connect, you can save your session as well in a synchronized way (CopyonWriteList<T> for example). When your REST API is called, you can access the list of WebSocket sessions and send the data you want to return as your response of REST API back to the WebSocket client. I don't know what framework you are using, but you can also use aspects.
