[jsr356-experts] Summary of Open Issues

Hi folks,

Here's a list of issues that are still open that I need a little more
feedback on:-

* Web Socket Sessions / HttpSessions / Distributed Containers

There are two issues: one regarding the overall relationships between
the two. We seem to be settling on the developer coding this themselves,
but I have a concern about situations where the container should close
web sockets that require authorization if the HttpSession is being used
to carry authenticated state. See the recent thread on "WebSocket
Session/HttpSession"

the second issue is how the distributed container manages web socket
sessions. See, here:-

http://java.net/jira/browse/WEBSOCKET_SPEC-7

* Multiple MessageHandlers, Encoders and predendence

There seem to be two options: allow the container to do multiplexing on
incoming messages based on configured Encoders, or not. See for example
my attempted summary here:-

I may be alone in this group in my wish for multiplexing :)

* Client API and Annotations

There seems to be a strong desire to include the client API in version
1, including client annotations. See this discussion.

Thanks,
