WebSocketReceiver

Receives WebSocket messages from the specified WebSocket server. Produces a feature each time a message is received, and places the contents of the message into the specified attribute. Each incoming feature will cause the WebSocketReceiver to initialize a connection to the specified WebSocket server. The transformer will block while it waits to receive WebSocket messages until the remote host closes the connection.

Usage Notes

The performance of this transformer is dependent on the amount of memory allocated to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The following environment variables allow you to specify memory available to Java Plugins:

  • FME_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE: Initial heap size for initializing the JVM. Default value is 1024K.
  • FME32_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE: Same as FME_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE, but applies to the 32-bit version of FME Desktop on Windows, and takes precedence over FME_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE.

  • FME_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE: Maximum heap size for initializing JVM. Default value is 16384K.
  • FME32_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE: Same as FME_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE, but applies to the 32-bit version of FME Desktop on Windows, and takes precedence over FME_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE.

If unset, the JVM applies the default values. If set, the values must be multiples of 1024K (for example, 4M and 64M, or 4096K and 32768K).

Note: To pass additional parameters used by FME to the Java Virtual Machine, use the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable.
