 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Please add support for non-blocking SSL sockets.  While the java.nio.* classes allow for a scalable server to be written, that server cannot use SSL.  Currently, for SSL, one is forced to use blocking I/O.

Unfortunately, because of this we have been forced to implement our own non-blocking I/O native classes.  Thus, all the nice NIO work that Sun has done is of no use to server implementers needing a scalable solution for both
normal socket and secure socket I/O.
