- ## Method Details

  - ### getSendTimeout

    long getSendTimeout()
    Obtain the timeout (in milliseconds) for sending a message asynchronously. The default value is determined by `WebSocketContainer.getDefaultAsyncSendTimeout()`.
    Returns:
      The current send timeout in milliseconds. A non-positive value means an infinite timeout.

  - ### setSendTimeout

    void setSendTimeout(long timeout)
    Set the timeout (in milliseconds) for sending a message asynchronously. The default value is determined by `WebSocketContainer.getDefaultAsyncSendTimeout()`.
    Parameters:
      `timeout` - The new timeout for sending messages asynchronously in milliseconds. A non-positive value means an infinite timeout.

  - ### sendText

    void sendText(String text, SendHandler completion)
    Send the message asynchronously, using the SendHandler to signal to the client when the message has been sent.
    Parameters:
      `text` - The text message to send
      `completion` - Used to signal to the client when the message has been sent

  - ### sendText

    Future<Void> sendText(String text)
    Send the message asynchronously, using the Future to signal to the client when the message has been sent.
    Parameters:
      `text` - The text message to send
    Returns:
      A Future that signals when the message has been sent.

  - ### sendBinary

    Future<Void> sendBinary(ByteBuffer data)
    Send the message asynchronously, using the Future to signal to the client when the message has been sent.
    Parameters:
      `data` - The text message to send
    Returns:
      A Future that signals when the message has been sent.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `data` is `null`.

  - ### sendBinary

    void sendBinary(ByteBuffer data, SendHandler completion)
    Send the message asynchronously, using the SendHandler to signal to the client when the message has been sent.
    Parameters:
      `data` - The text message to send
      `completion` - Used to signal to the client when the message has been sent
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `data` or `completion` is `null`.

  - ### sendObject

    Future<Void> sendObject(Object obj)
    Encodes object as a message and sends it asynchronously, using the Future to signal to the client when the message has been sent.
    Parameters:
      `obj` - The object to be sent.
    Returns:
      A Future that signals when the message has been sent.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `obj` is `null`.

  - ### sendObject

    void sendObject(Object obj, SendHandler completion)
    Encodes object as a message and sends it asynchronously, using the SendHandler to signal to the client when the message has been sent.
    Parameters:
      `obj` - The object to be sent.
      `completion` - Used to signal to the client when the message has been sent
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `obj` or `completion` is `null`.
