Description

Jetty version(s) 12+

Enhancement Description As we have MessageSink for InputStream, we could have an implementation for Flow.Publisher<ByteBuffer> since we cannot directly have Content.Source due to classloading issues.

@WebSocket
public class WSEndpoint {
  @OnWebSocketMessage
  public void onMessage(Flow.Publisher<ByteBuffer> publisher) {
    // Consume the message asynchronously.
  }
}

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate existing MessageSink implementations for InputStream to understand the pattern, then implement a similar adapter for Flow.Publisher, ensuring compatibility with Jetty's WebSocket API.
