No. When you have data to write and you can't write it (i.e. you get a return value of zero from the channel.write() call) you should set the key to OP_WRITE, and when this event fires in the Selector (key.isWritable()) retry the write. When it succeeds completely, you then set the key back to OP_READ.

No.
