I have a websocket server deployed on Glassfish 4. I try to use ping/pong. My plan is to send periodically pings from the server to the clients and if they do not pong back I wan to close the conenction. Unfortunately there seem not do be any 

@OnMessage
public void onMessage(PingMessage pingMessage)

within the javax.websocket.ClientEndpoint or ServerEndpoint.

Or any other way to react ping messages. For some very strange reasons, when I deploy the server inside Eclipse I receive pong messages even though I never implemented it inside the client. But when I deploy it using the glassfish maven plugin on my server, I dont receive any pongs anymore.
