WebSocket Sessions must be manually closed ------------------------------------------ Key: WFLY-3704 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3704 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web Sockets Affects Versions: 8.1.0.Final Reporter: Cody Lerum Assignee: Stuart Douglas Labels: websockets Currently if a WebSocket session goes inactive due to the browser shutting down or the user closing a tab the browser does not send a close event to the server. This behavior seems the same with Chrome and IE. The underlying TCP socket is however inactive and can be confirmed by calling a Session#isOpen which returns false. This will cause a build up of sessions unless the user does something like {code} for (Session session : sessions) { if (!session.isOpen()) { session.close(); } } {code} This would need to be done periodically by the application. Shouldn't the server automatically close these sessions when the underlying socket goes inactive?
