Java Websocket：如何从Websocket客户端接收PongMessage并响应此消息

Question

I am trying to send PongMessage to a server from web-socket client (heart-beat message you may say).

In server, I have written a method like this inside a class Annotated with @ServerEndpoint :

@OnMessage
        public void onPong(PongMessage pongMessage, Session session) {

          LOGGER.log(Level.INFO, " -- Got Hit Yaay!! -- ");

                try {
                    session.getBasicRemote().sendText(PONG_RECEIVED);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

        }

PongMessage Accepts ByteBuffer according to an oracle documentation. I tried generating a bytebuffer in server and sending exact same generated bytebuffer value from socket client. Server still throws an exception saying it Cannot decode a string .

I am not able to hit onPong() method . Is there any format for pongmessage that client can send to a websocket server so that onPong() method gets invoked? What am I doing wrong here? Any Ideas ?

I have found an old post that Ping/Pong messages should be handled by the browser. If that is still true (i'm not sure), then you should be moving to a "custom" solution: don't use PongMessage. Receive some JSON defined by you.
