Hello Pete,

Please note I am using classic Socket and Blocking IO and not NIO.

Any time I want? Even if it means to write to the OutputStream from a
different thread than the one receiving data? It is not clear from the
documentation I can do this safely on a Socket. I think is not possible
unless I get the underlying SocketChannel or?

I would not like to have my "Worker Threads" IO bound in any way, I would
not prefer to have them responsible for sending data. The other idea is two
have two-threads-per-connection model, one for receiving and one for sending
... but this is not the model I was trying to implement in my OP.

TIA,
Best regards,
Giovanni
