Hello! I have a question about the RemoteEndpoint.Async sendText method. The spec states: "Initiates the asynchronous transmission of a text message. This method returns before the message is transmitted." To me, this implies that the method should return immediately regardless of network status (i.e. it should still return immediately even if the socket connection has died without closing), but I've observed it blocking on writes to a broken connection.
I'm also dealing with a known issue with timeouts on Tomcat 7 with a BIO connector (https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56304). Looking at the source, the Basic/blocking sendText method calls sendPartialString, which uses a Future in the same way that the Async sendText method does, and then calls get on that Future with the configured timeout, so I'd imagine that if the Basic/blocking method has broken timeouts then the Async timeouts will be broken as well. Am I mis-interpreting the spec by expecting Async sendText to return immediately if the socket connection is broken? Is this just an extension of the issue with BIO connectors? My version information is: Server version: Apache Tomcat/7.0.64 Server built: Aug 19 2015 17:18:06 UTC Server number: 7.0.64.0 OS Name: Linux OS Version: 3.13.0-57-generic Architecture: amd64 JVM Version: 1.8.0_131-b11 JVM Vendor: Oracle Corporation Thanks, Z
