Re: High CPU usage when using Grizzly NIO engine

Is there a way to turn off expire of key, since it is not applicable to
persistent connections:

iterator = readyKeys.iterator();

 while (iterator.hasNext() && selectorHandler.isOpen()) {

key = iterator.next();

selectionKeyHandler.expire(key);



thanks,

Fay
