Of course. We should not introduce a model that is at odds with how exceptions are handled in this API. How about: 1) Leave the sendXXX methods as they are, no change from what is in jdk9/dev now. 2) Add, and specify, a default auto-pong mechanism. Leaving onPing as effectively a notification of a received ping message with access to its data, if any. No action, from user code, is required to reply to received pings, the implementation will do the right thing. Any errors encountered in the auto-pong mechanism can be notified through onError. -Chris.
