I am running into a strange problem
I have a non-blocking IO server communicating with several clients. This code runs fine when initiated from the command line.
When the same code is modified so that it is a class and instantiated from another piece of code, it bombs out with the following error

			

			
				

				java.net.SocketException: Address already in use
				

				at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Native Method)
				

				at sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.bind(ServerSocketChannelImpl.java:108)
				

				at sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketAdaptor.bind(ServerSocketAdaptor.java:59)
				

				at sun.nio.ch.SerevrSocketAdaptor.bind(ServerSocketAdaptor.java:52)
				

				at Listener.
				(Listener.java:41)
				

				at Listener.deploy(Listener.java:125)
				

				at testListen.main(testListen.java:8)
				

			
			

		

The relevant lines of code from Listener.java are

			

			
				

				ServerSocketChannel server = ServerSocketChannel.open();
				

				ServerSocket sock = server.socket();
				

				InetSocketAddress address = new InetSocket(PORT);
				

				sock.bind(address);
