the heap the application defined Websocket Decoder objects will
be taking up a large portion of the heap.

Problem conclusion

The Websocket code was fixed to not create spurious instances of
the application's Websocket Decoder objects.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
pack v9.0.0.2  for WebSphere Application Server and fix pack
16.0.0.4 for WebSphere Application Server Liberty.  Please refer
to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information:

Temporary fix

User's can do the decoding in their own app without interfacing
to WebSockets.
