Sergey,
WebSockets is already covered by JSR 356 in EE 7. And, other that the upgrade mechanism, there's little connection with HTTP. SSE runs on HTTP and with the features already in JAX-RS (async, streaming, etc.) it's rather easy (and elegantly) to integrate it in JAX-RS as seen the link included by Marek.
