This is a very simple and straight-forward implementation of a Java application using socket programming for scalable systems.
This repository contains sample code intended to demonstrate the capabilities of using non-blocking asynchronous channels in the Java socket model. It is not intended to be used as-is in applications as a library dependency, and will not be maintained as such. Bug fix contributions are welcome, but issues and feature requests will not be addressed.
NIO Socket Code Sample has been implemented using the AsynchronousServerSocketChannel class, which provides a non-blocking asynchronous channel for stream-oriented listening sockets.
To use it, first execute its static open() method and then bind() it to a specific port. Next, you'll execute its accept() method, passing to it a class that implements the CompletionHandler interface. Most often, you'll find that handler created as an anonymous inner class.
From this AsynchronousServerSocketChannel object, you invoke accept() to tell it to start listening for connections, passing to it a custom CompletionHandler instance. When we invoke accept(), it returns immediately. Note that this is different from the traditional blocking approach; whereas the accept() method blocked until a client connected to it, the AsynchronousServerSocketChannel accept() method handles it for you.
If you would like to contribute code, you can do so through GitHub by forking the repository and sending a pull request. When submitting code, please make every effort to follow existing conventions and style in order to keep the code as readable as possible.
