Description
There are potential to cause deadlock between client JVM and server JVM when messages exchange are implemented as blocking code. Also we would like to have a way to monitor those traffic to make sure things are happening as expected.

Support logging would be very helpful to diagnose problems we encountered. This should be optional and disabled by default.

Comments
SUGGESTED FIX Use an environment variable to switch on/off the logging capability. Messages to be logged with thread, timestamp and messages sent/received. The logging should happen only at the client-end so we don't impact browser performance and avoid double-logging.
