Can anyone sugg me how to close a socket channel.

I create a channel as below. After done with it, i am closing the channel using socketChannel.close() method. After this, socketChannel.isConnected() is returning true. I need some way of closing the channel such that the tcp connection is actually terminated.

SocketChannel socketChannel = SocketChannel.open();
socketChannel.connect(new InetSocketAddress(ip, port));
socketChannel.configureBlocking(false);


Thanks
