 public abstract class AbstractSelector extends Selector Base implementation class for selectors.This class encapsulates the low-level machinery required to implement the interruption of selection operations. A concrete selector class must invoke the beginandendmethods before and after, respectively, invoking an I/O operation that might block indefinitely. In order to ensure that theendmethod is always invoked, these methods should be used within atry...finallyblock:try { begin(); // Perform blocking I/O operation here ... } finally { end(); }This class also defines methods for maintaining a selector's cancelled-key set and for removing a key from its channel's key set, and declares the abstract registermethod that is invoked by a selectable channel'sregistermethod in order to perform the actual work of registering a channel.- Since:

AbstractSelectorprotected AbstractSelector(SelectorProvider provider) Initializes a new instance of this class.- Parameters:
- provider- The provider that created this selector

Method Detail- 
closepublic final void close() throws IOExceptionCloses this selector.If the selector has already been closed then this method returns immediately. Otherwise it marks the selector as closed and then invokes the implCloseSelectormethod in order to complete the close operation.- Specified by:
- closein interface- AutoCloseable
- Specified by:
- closein interface- Closeable
- Specified by:
- closein class- Selector
- Throws:
- IOException- If an I/O error occurs
 
 - 
implCloseSelectorprotected abstract void implCloseSelector() throws IOExceptionCloses this selector.This method is invoked by the closemethod in order to perform the actual work of closing the selector. This method is only invoked if the selector has not yet been closed, and it is never invoked more than once.An implementation of this method must arrange for any other thread that is blocked in a selection operation upon this selector to return immediately as if by invoking the wakeupmethod.- Throws:
- IOException- If an I/O error occurs while closing the selector
 
 - 
providerpublic final SelectorProvider provider() Returns the provider that created this channel.
 - 
cancelledKeysprotected final Set<SelectionKey> cancelledKeys() Retrieves this selector's cancelled-key set.This set should only be used while synchronized upon it. - Returns:
- The cancelled-key set
 
 - 
registerprotected abstract SelectionKey register(AbstractSelectableChannel ch, int ops, Object att) Registers the given channel with this selector.This method is invoked by a channel's registermethod in order to perform the actual work of registering the channel with this selector.- Parameters:
- ch- The channel to be registered
- ops- The initial interest set, which must be valid
- att- The initial attachment for the resulting key
- Returns:
- A new key representing the registration of the given channel with this selector
 
 - 
deregisterprotected final void deregister(AbstractSelectionKey key) Removes the given key from its channel's key set.This method must be invoked by the selector for each channel that it deregisters. - Parameters:
- key- The selection key to be removed
 
 - 
beginprotected final void begin() Marks the beginning of an I/O operation that might block indefinitely.This method should be invoked in tandem with the endmethod, using atry...finallyblock as shown above, in order to implement interruption for this selector.Invoking this method arranges for the selector's wakeupmethod to be invoked if a thread'sinterruptmethod is invoked while the thread is blocked in an I/O operation upon the selector.
