/**
 * A Web Socket session represents a conversation between two web socket endpoints. As soon as the websocket handshake
 * completes successfully, the web socket implementation provides the endpoint an open websocket session. The endpoint
 * can then register interest in incoming messages that are part of this newly created session by providing a
 * MessageHandler to the session, and can send messages to the other end of the conversation by means of the
 * RemoteEndpoint object obtained from this session.
 * <p/>
 * Once the session is closed, it is no longer valid for use by applications. Calling any of its methods (with the
 * exception of the close() methods) once the session has been closed will result in an IllegalStateException being
 * thrown. Developers should retrieve any information from the session during the
 * Endpoint.onClose(javax.websocket.Session, javax.websocket.CloseReason) method. Following the convention of Closeable
 * calling the Session close() methods after the Session has been closed has no effect.
 * <p/>
 * Session objects may be called by multiple threads. Implementations must ensure the integrity of the mutable
 * properties of the session under such circumstances.
