How to define one thread for multiple connections?

[hada]

Hi all,
The doc on NioServerSocketChannelFactory says:
"One NioServerSocketChannelFactory can have one or more worker threads. A
worker thread performs non-blocking read and write for one or more Channels
in a non-blocking mode."
this means that one thread is created per connection, and if the thread pool
can't add a new thread for a new connection, the connection is not
esthablished.
I need one server with about 500 clients connected (and any disconnection
should occurs).
The problem is that I want to minimize the number of thread in my process. 
How can I define only one thread that responsible to manage many
connections?

thanks!
