Websocket JSR 356 API Chat ROOM using latest spec changes, client API, improved session handling, and more

Latest revision as of 00:00, 25 November 2012

Did some cleanup. Moved more websocket stuff into ChatClientPeerHandler. Now doing better session management. Wrote a test client that sent around 400,000 messages over 500 connections. It seems like our implementation is fast. :)

Websocket JSR 356 API Chat Room using latest spec, added performance testing and a Java client
