TestFilter.java

Used to specify group, update it to client side.

package test;

@WebFilter(filterName="TestFilter", urlPatterns={"/index.jsp"})

    public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
    }

    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
             FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
        Random r = new Random();
        // put the value "GroupOne"/"GroupTwo"/"GroupThree" with
        // name "GROUP" into request scope
        ((HttpServletRequest)request).setAttribute("GROUP", _groups[r.nextInt(3)]);
        chain.doFilter(request, response);
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() {}
}

Create server side connections with specified group.
