            Bug ID: 58998
           Summary: Should add to API docs to be sure to flip a bytebuffer
                    if it was written to before you try to send over a
                    websocket with sendbinary method
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: jasonric...@gmail.com

With the send binary method API docs for tomcat in the websockets class, we
should add to the docs that "if the bytebuffer was not flipped will not send
correctly". I did this is a sendBinary method for the websockets API and spent
1.5 days debugging and could find no helpful information in the tomcat site or
docs why my sending of a bytebuffer was failing silently with. 

I then had to go through the API docs of another websocket project where they
stated be sure the bytebuffer is flipped or will fail. We should also add this
to the API docs since it will cut down on debugging time for developers user
the API for the websockets sendBinary method.
