public abstract class AbstractSelector extends Selector
 This class encapsulates the low-level machinery required to implement
 the interruption of selection operations.  A concrete selector class must
 invoke the begin and end methods before and
 after, respectively, invoking an I/O operation that might block
 indefinitely.  In order to ensure that the end method is always
 invoked, these methods should be used within a
 try ... finally block:
 
 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 register method that is invoked by a
 selectable channel's register
 method in order to perform the actual work of registering a channel.  
| Modifier | Constructor and Description | 
|---|---|
| protected  | AbstractSelector(SelectorProvider provider)Initializes a new instance of this class. | 
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| protected void | begin()Marks the beginning of an I/O operation that might block indefinitely. | 
| protected Set<SelectionKey> | cancelledKeys()Retrieves this selector's cancelled-key set. | 
| void | close()Closes this selector. | 
| protected void | deregister(AbstractSelectionKey key)Removes the given key from its channel's key set. | 
| protected void | end()Marks the end of an I/O operation that might block indefinitely. | 
| protected abstract void | implCloseSelector()Closes this selector. | 
| boolean | isOpen()Tells whether or not this selector is open. | 
| SelectorProvider | provider()Returns the provider that created this channel. | 
| protected abstract SelectionKey | register(AbstractSelectableChannel ch,
        int ops,
        Object att)Registers the given channel with this selector. | 
protected AbstractSelector(SelectorProvider provider)
provider - The provider that created this selectorpublic final void close()
                 throws IOException
 If the selector has already been closed then this method returns
 immediately.  Otherwise it marks the selector as closed and then invokes
 the implCloseSelector method in order to
 complete the close operation.  
close in interface Closeableclose in interface AutoCloseableclose in class SelectorIOException - If an I/O error occursprotected abstract void implCloseSelector()
                                   throws IOException
 This method is invoked by the close method 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 wakeup method. 
IOException - If an I/O error occurs while closing the selectorpublic final boolean isOpen()
Selectorpublic final SelectorProvider provider()
protected final Set<SelectionKey> cancelledKeys()
This set should only be used while synchronized upon it.
protected abstract SelectionKey register(AbstractSelectableChannel ch, int ops, Object att)
 This method is invoked by a channel's register method in order to perform
 the actual work of registering the channel with this selector.  
ch - The channel to be registeredops - The initial interest set, which must be validatt - The initial attachment for the resulting keyprotected final void deregister(AbstractSelectionKey key)
This method must be invoked by the selector for each channel that it deregisters.
key - The selection key to be removedprotected final void begin()
 This method should be invoked in tandem with the end
 method, using a try ... finally block as
 shown above, in order to implement interruption for
 this selector.
 
 Invoking this method arranges for the selector's wakeup method to be invoked if a thread's interrupt method is invoked while the thread is
 blocked in an I/O operation upon the selector.
