It doesn't seem possible as far as I can see. We have 2 methods in java.nio.channels.Channels: newInputStream(java.nio.channels.ReadableByteChannel) newInputStream(java.nio.channels.AsynchronousByteChannel) Neither ReadableByteChannel nor AsynchronousByteChannel is SelectableChannel. Sorry, I might be missing something. Anyway, it would be a misbehaving InputStream as it doesn't conform to the spec.
