Well I didn't want to bring this to the sunlight so soon but since you brought up the issue: I'm developing a generic non-blocking server framework for JDK 1.4.
It handles all subtleties of the non-blocking server's life, such as non-blocking pipes for servlet output buffering, thread scaling (since a single selector handles at most 63 channels, you still need multiple threads), channel registration from a different thread than the thread that listens to the selector via a mechanism similar to Swing's invokeAndWait(), etc, etc. Using this framework, all you need to do is implement a single ProtocolHandler interface and focus your attention on the protocol implementation and not on the details of non-blocking I/O. The initial code is practically done, there is only one JUnit test left to pass. I've created a project for it on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nbserver) *today* (see, it's really fresh) and will upload the code there soon. The project is pretty much empty now, but I'll populate the CVS and the introductory website in the following days. It will be distributed under Apache-style license. My primary goal for bringing the code in the public is that I want to build a HTTP/1.1 connector for Tomcat 4.0 based on it, and could use a helping hand here and there. In fact, I already have much of the code for building the HttpServletRequest object, but to keep it really elegant I'll need some help from the Tomcat community. Most notably, much of the code duplications could go away if Catalina code in org.apache.catalina.connectors.http was more reusable (some classes are package-private and some public classes take package-private classes in a constructor argument etc.). I'll return to these issues on this list after I've properly set up the project on SourceForge. I wanted to keep the whole project out of the spotlight until it's up and running, but since you mentioned the issue, I thought you should know about similar efforts. Maybe you will want to take a look at it; I can notify you when the SourceForge project site is ready.
