/**
 * The Web Socket Endpoint represents and object that can handle web socket conversations. If 
 * deployed as a server, that is to say, the endpoint is registered to a URL, the endpoint may
 * handle one or more web socket conversations, one for each client that establishes a connection. If
 * deployed as a client, the endpoint will participate in only one conversation: that with the server
 * to which it connects.
 * If the endpoint is a server which will cater to multiple clients, the endpoint may be called by multiple
 * threads, no more than one per client, at any one time. This means that when implementing/overriding the methods
 * of Endpoint, the developer should be aware that any state management must be carefully synchronized with this in
 * mine.

* There are a number of categories of exception that this method is (currently) defined to handle:-
* - connection problems, for example, a socket failure that occurs before the web socket connection can be formally closed.
* - errors thrown by developer create message handlers calls.
* - conversion errors encoding incoming messages before any message handler has been called.
* TBD We may come up with less of a 'catch-all' mechanism for handling exceptions, especially given the varying nature * of these categories of exception. */ public void onError(Throwable thr, Session s) {} }
