How to subscribe and send Web Push notifications in Java
In this video, Marcus Hellberg shows you how you can send web push notifications from a Java server. The video shows how to subscribe to notifications in the browser, save the subscription on the server, and use the subscription to send a web push notification.
The video uses a SpringBoot and Lit-based Vaadin Fusion project as an example, but you can use the same library in other environments.
