Thanks for this.

However, isn't more "java like" to take the approach of 
running every socket in a new thread? I've done this in 
Java servers. You start up a Java server socket, and everytime
you get a connection, you run a new thread which is a class
that serves only that socket. The code is pretty trivial.


Of course, if you need to co-ordinate the inputs from all the
differen sockets, you would then implement some kind of <synchronized>
callback mechanism (like passing a reference to a common class
which is "Mediator" type of design pattern). Of course, I guess
the differences between this and your approach might be rather
subtle?
