    Have a look at http://g00glen00b.be/spring-angular-sockjs/ and http://www.theotherian.com/2014/03/spring-boot-websockets-stomp-chat.html tutorials. Regarding mobile platform support it will mostly be affected by how you handle your view – Balwinder Singh Sep 14 '15 at 05:08

  • is there any existing libraries which supports group chats ? – Ramesh Reddy Sep 14 '15 at 05:34
  • Not sure about group chats. But you can use https://github.com/Atmosphere/atmosphere as Realtime Client Server Framework – Balwinder Singh Sep 14 '15 at 05:38
  • thanks Balwinder, am new to mobile apps. actually we need to build a application like whatsapp group chat in the app will call the webservices and the webservices need to do the push notification to all group members.can you please suggest on this – Ramesh Reddy Sep 14 '15 at 05:43
  • Basically, your server side app will hold the business logic which will be exposed through webservice APIs. These APIs will be consumed and used by your mobile app. The mobile apps will be coded to provided user interface and capture user actions. Based on the action, appropriate webservice API will be called for sending across messages. The group chats will also be managed by your server side code. – Balwinder Singh Sep 14 '15 at 05:57
