java.nio.channel.Selector: open more than one selectors in one system?

Hi,

the java.nio.channel.Selector is in a few words used to multiplex (communication) channels. It is also based on an (single) underlying low-level UNIX operating system entity.

All these give me the impression, that there is no reason to "open" more than one selectors -multiplexing (server) socket channels, in my case- on a single system. Is this true? Would the only reason for opening multiple selectors be design issues? Would it be mess?

Thanks

You can do it for sure, and there can be benefits if you have more than one processor per CPU, and if you can come up with a reasonable policy for how to allocate channels to selectors. Otherwise best avoided for beginners.
