In order for the WeakReference to show up in the queue, the Channel it references would have to get collected...in which case I would no longer be able to close it. Am I missing something? Now, if I had access to the actual fileno and the APIs that OpenJDK uses to open and close them, this would not be a problem at all. But of course all that stuff is hidden from me. - Charlie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
