public abstract classSelectableChannelextendsAbstractInterruptibleChannelimplementsChannel
Selector. In order to be used with a selector, an instance of this class must first beregistered via theregister method. This method returns a newSelectionKey object that represents the channel's registration with the selector.
Once registered with a selector, a channel remains registered until it isderegistered. This involves deallocating whatever resources were allocated to the channel by the selector.
A channel cannot be deregistered directly; instead, the key representing its registration must becancelled. Cancelling a key requests that the channel be deregistered during the selector's next selection operation. A key may be cancelled explicitly by invoking itscancel method. All of a channel's keys are cancelled implicitly when the channel is closed, whether by invoking itsclose method or by interrupting a thread blocked in an I/O operation upon the channel.
If the selector itself is closed then the channel will be deregistered, and the key representing its registration will be invalidated, without further delay.
A channel may be registered at most once with any particular selector.
Whether or not a channel is registered with one or more selectors may be determined by invoking theisRegistered method.
Selectable channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.
isBlocking method.Newly-created selectable channels are always in blocking mode. Non-blocking mode is most useful in conjunction with selector-based multiplexing. A channel must be placed into non-blocking mode before being registered with a selector, and may not be returned to blocking mode until it has been deregistered.

Due to the inherent delay between key cancellation and channel deregistration, a channel may remain registered for some time after all of its keys have been cancelled. A channel may also remain registered for some time after it is closed.
public abstract SelectionKey keyFor(Selector sel)
sel - The selectorpublic abstract SelectionKey register(Selector sel, int ops,Object att) throwsClosedChannelException
If this channel is currently registered with the given selector then the selection key representing that registration is returned. The key's interest set will have been changed toops, as if by invoking theinterestOps(int) method. If theatt argument is notnull then the key's attachment will have been set to that value. ACancelledKeyException will be thrown if the key has already been cancelled.
Otherwise this channel has not yet been registered with the given selector, so it is registered and the resulting new key is returned. The key's initial interest set will beops and its attachment will beatt.
This method may be invoked at any time. If this method is invoked while another invocation of this method or of theconfigureBlocking method is in progress then it will first block until the other operation is complete. This method will then synchronize on the selector's key set and therefore may block if invoked concurrently with another registration or selection operation involving the same selector.
If this channel is closed while this operation is in progress then the key returned by this method will have been cancelled and will therefore be invalid.

If this channel is registered with one or more selectors then an attempt to place it into blocking mode will cause anIllegalBlockingModeException to be thrown.
This method may be invoked at any time. The new blocking mode will only affect I/O operations that are initiated after this method returns. For some implementations this may require blocking until all pending I/O operations are complete.
If this method is invoked while another invocation of this method or of theregister method is in progress then it will first block until the other operation is complete.

If this channel is closed then the value returned by this method is not specified.
public abstract Object blockingLock()
configureBlocking andregister methods synchronize. This is often useful in the implementation of adaptors that require a specific blocking mode to be maintained for a short period of time.
