Hi Andy,
Before the last draft getOpenSessions() was on the container. This
presents a problem because it retrieved all the open sessions for all
the endpoints in an application. The use case for this is really for a
single endpoint to be able to easily broadcast an update to its
connected clients (and not the connected clients of other endpoints in
the application). So, the call being there had a few problems:
- it didn't fit the usecase, except when there was only one endpoint in
the application
- it didn't scale to large websocket applications
With the call on the session its easier to scope it to just the open
sessions on the endpoint for that session.
What is it you need to be able to do ? AT what point in the application
lifecycle are you trying to get the open sessions ?
Thanks,
- Danny
