Question

I built a simple chat application using nio channels. I am very much new to networking as well as threads. This application is for communicating with server (Server / Client chat application).

My problem is that multiple clients are not supported by the server.
How do I solve this problem?
What’s the bug in my code?

public class Clientcore extends Thread
{

    SelectionKey selkey=null;
    Selector sckt_manager=null;
    public void coreClient()
    {
       System.out.println("please enter the text");
       BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
       SocketChannel sc = null;
        try
        { sc = SocketChannel.open();
            sc.configureBlocking(false);       
            sc.connect(new InetSocketAddress(8888));  
            int i=0;
           while (!sc.finishConnect())
            {   
            } 
            for(int ii=0;ii>-22;ii++)
            {
                System.out.println("Enter the text");
                String HELLO_REQUEST =stdin.readLine().toString();
                if(HELLO_REQUEST.equalsIgnoreCase("end"))
                {
                    break;
                }
                System.out.println("Sending a request to HelloServer");    
                ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(HELLO_REQUEST.getBytes());    
                sc.write(buffer); 
            }   
        } 
        catch (IOException e) 
        {

        }
        finally
