> Currently, TAsyncClientMethod cancels its selection key on a successful method call. The current model assumes the key goes away and the client gets a new key on the next Selector registration, which is incorrect - the cancelled key can hang around, with the implication that the developer needs to check key.isValid() on the next selector action, which TAsyncClientMethod currently does. However, if the developer re-uses the client for another call, you can get a CancelledKeyException from the Selector#register call, which crashes the SelectorThread. This occurs once you have sufficient concurrency on the Selector - cancelled key cleanup takes longer, so we hit this condition.
> Attached is a patch with fix and regression test. Summary of fix:
> 1) Don't cancel() the key after a successful method call.
> 2) Catch CancelledKeyException in the SelectorThread, so the manager can't die.
> 3) Add an onError method to TAsyncMethodCall, so that the SelectorThread can notify the client of an error on selector registration.
