Rejecting connections on open with a ServerSocketChannel

[Iain McGinniss]

Hello all,

I have a situation in my code where I want to open a server socket  
channel in order to claim the port, but I do not yet want to accept  
any connections on this channel as the rest of the environment isn't  
ready yet. Is there a way to stop the server channel from accepting  
connections (and, preferrably, forcefully reject them), or is my only  
option to close the connection as soon as I'm aware of it, i.e.  
reacting to a ChildChannelStateEvent and calling close on the channel?
