How to unsubscribe from a socket.io subscription?

Question

Suppose there are objects making subscriptions to a socket server like so:

socket.on(\'news\', obj.socketEvent)

These objects have a short life

Answer 1

Also on java client, it can be done the same way with the Javascript client. I've pasted from socket.io.

// remove all listeners of the connect event
socket.off(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT);

listener = new Emitter.Listener() { ... };
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, listener);
// remove the specified listener
socket.off(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, listener);
