             Summary: 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)
    Affects Versions: 8.1.0.Final
            Reporter: Cody Lerum
            Assignee: Jason Greene


Currently if a Web Socket 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?
