Hi Brian & Alan,
I just run also into this issue and saw that that Alan suggested the use
of OutputStream.nullOutputStream() that we implemented a while ago:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8285445?focusedCommentId=14490595&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14490595
In the specific case I ran into was, that this problem was also in the a
widely used library org.jboss.xnio:xnio-nio where they actually would
like to have a null FileChannel.I wonder if it make sense to create an
according issune and start creating an according proposal for that
relating to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6852033
Regards
Patrick
