SocketChannel flush before close

[yarivvv]

Hi,

I wrote a simple http server using java.nio. I've run into a problem
where occasionally, calling close() on the SocketChannel closes the
socket prematurely, before all the response bytes have been sent to the
client. Is there a way to ensure that the SocketChannel flushes before
closing?

Thanks

There is no such thing as flush() in a Channel. The only way bytes can
get lost is if you lose them: it is up to you to check the return value
from SocketChannel.write() and make sure that all the bytes you intended
to write were written.
