RFR: 8268294: Reusing HttpClient in a WebSocket.Listener hangs.

[Michael McMahon]

Hi,

This fixes a problem where the listener methods of a WebSocket client were being invoked by the Selector manager thread, which is problematic, because if the implementation of any of these methods tries to do any blocking work, this impacts other http activity, and if the blocking work is a http client call, then a hang can result. The fix makes the HttpClient's executor available to WebSocketImpl and that is used to offload the listener invocations.

The fix also adds a more comprehensive test framework for WebSockets (in WebSocketServer). Up to now we just had a limited server side in the tests that can only do the handshake. This change adds an API and implementation for server's to receive websocket messages and send replies back to clients. To implement this, the server hooks into WebSocket's Frame, MessageEncoder and MessageDecoder classes. Therefore, the implementations of these classes had to be modified to allow for the encoding of server generated messages and the decoding of client generated messages. The only difference between client and server in this respect relates to payload masking which is only done for messages sent from client to server.

There's a couple of warts that I wasn't sure what to do with. 1) There is already a copy of the Frame implementation class in the test hierarchy. I presume this is used by other tests, but that implementation is not used by this change. 2) The WebSocketServer is based on the existing DummyWebSocketServer class which is used by other tests. I can't see any easy way to refactor/combine these implementations.

Thanks,

Michael.
