We are currently re-writing our I/O libaries to take advantage of the new java.nio capabilities because we can easily max out the number of threads that a JVM can handle (especially on windows) long before we run out of CPU power. So today I started to look at migrating our SSL-related code. I didn't find any way to get SSL to work with selectable (asynchronous) channels.
This JDC bug indicates the state of the problem: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4495742.html
Apparently, Sun didn't think that high-performance apps would need SSL :(
It looks like we have 3 options: 1. Abandon our upgrade (not really an option) 2. Wait for 1.5 and HOPE Sun fixes the problem 3. Look for a 3rd-party SSL implementation that addresses the issue. 4. Write our own SSL implementation (most likely not an option)
Has anyone heard news of 1.5? Any pre-release availablility dates? The J2SE page doesnt say much.
Anyone know of any ISVs that might have an independent SSL implementation?
TIA, Chris
