can this server push message to client ?

[PudgeMa]

I want to make a Tcp Server that can push message to client, and I'm worry about how to save and mark every SocketChannel of client.
does your code have this function ? thanks.

Hi, I am not sure if this design has that ability already, but I have made a more advanced version of a TCP server which can do that - based on exactly the same design. It is definitely possible to add. The extended design assigns a socket ID to each socket, and inserts them into a Map. Then each socket can be identified via that id (just an incrementing long). Also, the messages that are read from a socket contains a reference to the socket (or socket ID) of the socket they came from, so a reply can be sent back to the correct socket. - Jakob Jenkov

@jjenkov yeah. I have the same idea. I think it may be difficult to remove socket from the map when the socket disconnects with server, so the heartbeat may be need to detect that.

Actually, this server already assigns an ID to the sockets and puts them into a Map. It also removes them again when the sockets are closed. Look at this code from the SocketProcessor:

    if(socket.endOfStreamReached){
        System.out.println("Socket closed: " + socket.socketId);
        this.socketMap.remove(socket.socketId);
        key.attach(null);
        key.cancel();
        key.channel().close();
    }
