trying to get configureBlocking(false); to work

[Tony Evans]

I have a message producer but the socket is never set if the serverSocketChannel.configureBlocking(false) is set.
In the code below it will never reach the block of code protected by sChannel != null
I know that it takes time to connect but this seems to loop for ever

	private void processMessage() throws IOException, InterruptedException, ClassNotFoundException{
		 ServerSocketChannel ssChannel = ServerSocketChannel.open(); 
	        ssChannel.configureBlocking(false); 
	        ssChannel.socket().bind(new InetSocketAddress(port)); 
            
            boolean stop = false;
            while(true){
            	if(stop){
            		break;
            	}
            	SocketChannel sChannel = ssChannel.accept();
            	System.out.println("channel is null;");
            	if(sChannel != null ){
	            
		            while(!sChannel.finishConnect());
			            ObjectOutputStream  oos = new ObjectOutputStream(sChannel.socket().getOutputStream()); 
			            List <String> messages = generateString();
			            for(String msg:messages){
			            	oos.writeObject(msg); 
			            	oos.flush();
			            }
			            oos.writeObject("stop");
						oos.flush();
			            //oos.close(); 
			                sChannel.close();
			 
			                System.out.println("Connection ended"); 
			            ssChannel.close();
			            stop = true;
		            }
           }
    }
