Spring Add support for configuring sslContext in StandardWebSocketClient

Currently StandardWebSocketClient supports SSL using user properties: standardWebSocketClient.setUserProperties(Map.of(Constants.SSL_CONTEXT_PROPERTY, sslContext));

Unfortunately this support ends with Tomcat 11. New way to go: ClientEndpointConfig endpointConfig = ClientEndpointConfig.Builder.create().sslContext(sslContext).build();

But the creation of ClientEndpointConfig is capsulated in the class StandardWebSocketClient, so sslContext(...) can not be inserted there. Would it be possible to enable that?

That looks reasonable to me. Would moving createEndpointConfig to a protected method do the trick for you?

Hi Stéphane, thank you for taking the time to look at this! Yes, I think this should work. Best regards Martin

While for the reactive StandardWebSocketClient, I've turned createEndpointConfig to a protected method indeed (in line with some other protected methods there), I went with direct SSLContext support in the form of a setSslContext method on the regular StandardWebSocketClient (along the lines of the existing user properties support there).
