hi,

A public  API for initiating an upgrade at runtime was removed [1] which
breaks WebSocket support in the Spring Framework. This API was previously
added to make up for a limitation in JSR-356. The hope was for it to be
picked up in a spec update but unfortunately there has been no movement
whatsoever on that front. For what it's worth an identical API has been
added to several other Servlet containers.
