Am very new to NIO am building a chat application i got connection in all the client but while reading content from client i got java.nio.channels.IllegalBlockingModeException. please help me here is the code where the exception occures. while reaching while (rbc.read(b) != -1) of PrintRequest class Exception occures

public class PrintRequest extends Thread
{

    public  PrintRequest(SocketChannel sc,int i)throws Exception
    {
        System.out.println("going to enter the try block of PrintRequest");        
        try
        {   
               System.out.println("Am in the try block of PrintRequest");    

               ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(sc.socket().getInputStream()); 
               System.out.println("checking in PrintRequest 0001");
               WritableByteChannel wbc = Channels.newChannel(System.out); 
               System.out.println("checking in PrintRequest 0010");
               ByteBuffer b = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(1024); // read 1024 bytes 
                // int numBytesRead = sc.read(b);
                 System.out.println("checking in PrintRequest 0011");
                 while (rbc.read(b) != -1) 
                 {
                     System.out.println("Am  in while loop of PrintRequest ");
                    b.flip();
                    while (b.hasRemaining())
                    { 
                         wbc.write(b);
                         System.out.println();
                    }
                    b.clear();
                 }

        }
        catch(Exception E)
        {
            System.out.println("Exception in printlnRequest  "+E);
        }

ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(sc.socket().getInputStream()); 

Your problem is here. You can't use a stream from a channel that's in non-blocking mode. The code is pointless anyway, as sc already is a ReadableByteChannel. Just delete this line and do the following I/O with sc instead of rbc. But see below.

You still haven't fixed any of the issues I mentioned in your previous post. Your connect technique is still wrong, and you are calling PrintRequest() which loops reading in non-blocking mode instead of registering the accepted channel for OP_READ. The code continues to make no sense.
