You need to implement this:

[server] Automatic Reconnecting WebSocket

When working with WebSocket handlers the client maintains an online connection. The connection is expected to be kept alive for as long as needed. However there are cases where the connection can be temporary broken. Especially when the client is a mobile browser. Using the...

How do you create the session and read it?

From B4J Server template:

GuessMyNumber: 
Sub Handle(req As ServletRequest, resp As ServletResponse)
    Try
        If req.GetSession.HasAttribute("myNumber") = False Then
            req.GetSession.SetAttribute("myNumber", Rnd(0, 101))
        End If
        Dim myNumber As Int = req.GetSession.GetAttribute("myNumber")
        Dim n As String = req.GetParameter("number")
        If IsNumber(n) = False Then
            resp.Write("Please enter a valid number.")
        Else
            If n > myNumber Then
                resp.Write("My number is smaller.")
            Else If n < myNumber Then
                resp.Write("My number is larger.")
            Else
                resp.Write("Well done!!!")
            End If
        End If
    Catch
        resp.SendError(500, "error....")
    End Try
End Sub

Do you mean F5 on B4J (Debug), not F5 on web browser (Refresh)?

You may try using Cookie or LocalStorage.

Have you checked out the link in post #3? Yes, WebSockets can work with sessions (which are tracked via a session cookie)

I'm using this to create sessions, and I still have the problem mentioned above.
B4X: 
'main server class'
srvr.AddFilter("/b4j_ws.js", "SessionCreator", False)


'Session Filter class
Sub Class_Globals
    
End Sub

Public Sub Initialize
    
End Sub

'Return True to allow the request to proceed.
Public Sub Filter(req As ServletRequest, resp As ServletResponse) As Boolean
    Log("sessão do crl")
    req.GetSession
    Return True
End Sub
