Re: How Do I Use An SSLServerSocket With ServerSocketChannel?

Well, maybe because the subject is difficult, and many things can't be explained in a few simple sentences.

It is difficult on many levels. E.g.

* People. I well remember people who got offended when being told how TCP really works instead of what they have dreamed up, when being told to read an RFC standard, or when being told to use a sniffer like Ethereal.

* The APIs. They are not that self-explanatory as one would hope. In fact, nio is really a little bit to abstract for my taste.

* The API documentation. You have to know the whole API's documentation to understand the documentation for a single class. Hen-egg problem.


I've never had that kind of
trouble with other topics.

Well, if you need reliable help you better hires someone for money.
