HTTP server in Java with long time reposnse -

i want write http server long time response. prepared loop:

    serversocketchannel = serversocketchannel.open();     serversocketchannel.socket().bind(new inetsocketaddress(inetaddress.getbyname("127.0.0.1"), 8000));      while (serversocketchannel.isopen()) {         try {             system.out.println("waiting...");             socketchannel socketchannel = serversocketchannel.accept();             system.out.println("the new connection open ;)");         } catch (ioexception ex) {             system.out.println(ex.getmessage());             logger.getlogger(serverhttp.class.getname()).log(level.severe, null, ex);         }     } 

i want catch new connection user's browser, put list, , thread take , parse it. have problem on beginning: code above freezing in method serversocketchannel.accept().

when add socketchannel.close() working correctly, don't want close connection in place, because need long time response.

look @ javadoc serversocketchannel:

"if channel in non-blocking mode method return null if there no pending connections. otherwise block indefinitely until new connection available or i/o error occurs."

this seems describe "freezing" experiencing.

you can open serversocketchannel in non-blocking mode:

serversocketchannel.configureblocking(false);
