Description
I try to connect from the React.js frontend, but I get an error:
44/chat,"Error decoding value"

after this:
const socket = io('localhost:9000/chat', {
query: 'user=aaa',
});
socket.emit('join room', {room: 'test'});
PS: java/multi-room-chat

Research direction
Start by reproducing the React.js connection shown in the issue with io('localhost:9000/chat') and the subsequent join room emit. Compare that behavior with the java/multi-room-chat setup and determine the conditions that produce “44/chat, Error decoding value”; done means the connection and room join work without the decoding error.
