/**
* The Web Socket Endpoint represents an object that can handle websocket conversations.
* Developers may extend this class in order to implement a programmatic websocket
* endpoint. The Endpoint class holds lifecycle methods that may be
* overridden to intercept websocket open, error and close events. By implementing
* the {@link Endpoint#onOpen(javax.websocket.Session, javax.websocket.EndpointConfig) onOpen} method, the programmatic endpoint gains access to the {@link Session} object,
* to which the developer may add {@link MessageHandler} implementations in order to
* intercept incoming websocket messages. Each instance
* of a websocket endpoint is guaranteed not to be called by more than one thread
* at a time per active connection.
*
* If deployed as a client endpoint, it will be instantiated once for the
* single connection to the server.
*
*
When deployed as a server endpoint, the implementation uses the
* {@link javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig.Configurator#getEndpointInstance}
* method to obtain the
* endpoint instance it will use for each new client connection. If the developer uses
* the default {@link javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig.Configurator},
* there will be precisely one
* endpoint instance per active client connection. Consequently, in this typical
* case, when implementing/overriding the methods of Endpoint, the developer is
* guaranteed that there will be at most one thread calling each endpoint instance
* at a time.
*
*
If the developer provides a custom {@link javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig.Configurator}
* which overrides the default policy for endpoint instance creation, for example,
* using a single Endpoint instance for multiple client connections, the developer
* may need to write code that can execute concurrently.
*
*
Here is an example of a simple endpoint that echoes any incoming text message back to the sender.
*
* public class EchoServer extends Endpoint {
*
* public void onOpen(Session session, EndpointConfig config) {
* final RemoteEndpoint remote = session.getBasicRemote();
* session.addMessageHandler(String.class, new MessageHandler.Whole<String>() {
* public void onMessage(String text) {
* try {
* remote.sendString("Got your message (" + text + "). Thanks !");
* } catch (IOException ioe) {
* // handle send failure here
* }
* }
* });
* }
*
* }

*
* - connection problems, for example, a socket failure that occurs before
* the web socket connection can be formally closed. These are modeled as
* {@link SessionException}s
* - runtime errors thrown by developer created message handlers calls.
* - conversion errors encoding incoming messages before any message handler has been called. These
