Description

Currently, CXF's Atmosphere based WebSocket transport uses Atmosphere to handle WebSocket processing but uses its own message-level processing such as message format conversion.

As Atmosphere provides its flexible framework to add such message format conversion and there are some custom extensions, it will be useful to use this feature in CXF's WebSocket transport.

This will allow you to easily switch the message format or protocol or add a customized behavior.
