Selector() -> new Selector component
Use Selector.getSelectorService(...) in preference as it returns an existing instance, or automatically creates a new one.
Warning!
You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods (except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.
Adds a file descriptor (selectable).
Creates a corresponding outbox, with name based on boxBase; links it to the component that wants to be notified; adds the file descriptor to the set of selectables; and records the box and linkage info in meta.
Process requests to add and remove file descriptors (selectables) that arrive at the "notify" inbox.
Main loop
Removes a file descriptor (selectable).
Removes the corresponding entry from meta and selectables; unlinks from the component to be notified; and deletes the corresponding outbox.
Got a problem with the documentation? Something unclear that could be clearer? Want to help improve it? Constructive criticism is very welcome - especially if you can suggest a better rewording!
Please leave you feedback here in reply to the documentation thread in the Kamaelia blog.
