Thread: server/client communication problem

Hello.
I have simple question relating nio and would like ask and get answer in this thread.
I had such task - to create nio server-multiclient app, where one client could send message directly to another client. What it could mean? Is it possible?
Whether it means to use server as intermediary - that is client write message and end-client name to buffer - then server read it to socketchannel- here server define the name of client to send original message - and then socketchannel write it buffer - that it is read by end-client??
How solve such task? Thanfull in advance!

Anyway the client should connect to any other client throught the server (i.e. ServerSocket - ServerSocketChannel). So why it is direct - what is indirect?
I did not created no socket apps (server-client) untill now, even in java-io, moreover in nio.
The most disturbing is acceptance moment - should serversocketchannel after opening provide Accept SelectKey - after which opened SocketChannel (automatically) connects to serversocketchannel?!
In this way all socketchannels in multiclient app - should use this one server acceptance selectkey.
Then this key is removed - and we use readselectkey?! If socketChannel write some info to buffer then this read selectkey should be exploited?!
Or how? Should I register manually accept and read selectkey with selector?
But looking at that simple example - Create server with Java ServerSocketChannel (no selector) -
just one client- SocketChannel clientChannel = serverChannel.accept();
or should I put it in some loop to create several ones?[COLOR="Silver"]

I have used to launched 2 of such examples - one of them was crunchify one -
indeed just server to be launched -
Connecting to Server on port 1111...
No more.
The other example was of thread wrapped - it worked by provided code.

I did not try. As this task was earlier indeed I would be glad to resolve it anyway. But I want to know does this example (crunchify.com) shows the same output on somebodies else pc- just about server starting?! It also should be noted that there was option to implement this multiclient server with "direct messages" with IO or other way. So probably it would be fine to try it with io - but if then try to use nio - all complexities of nio would arize again...
