We will introduce new classes for readers, writers, input and out streams for NIO. These would be exposed from ServletRequest and ServletResponse.

ReadListener:

package javax.servlet;

import java.util.EventListener;

/**
 * @since Servlet 3.1
 */

/**
 * <p>
 * This class represents a call-back mechanism that will notify implementations
 * as HTTP request data becomes available to read without blocking.
 * </p>
 *

 */
public interface ReadListener extends EventListener {

    /**
     * <p>
     * Invoked when data is available to be read without blocking.
     *
     */
    public void onDataAvailable(ServletRequest request);

    /**
     * <p>
     * Invoked when all data for the current request has been read.
     * </p>
     *
     */

    public void onAllDataRead(ServletRequest request);

    /**
     * <p>
     * Invoked when an error occurs processing the request.
     * </p>
     */
    public void onError(Throwable t);


}

AsyncIOInputSource

package javax.servlet;

/**
 * <p>
 * This interface defines methods to allow an {@link ServletInputStream} or
 * {@link ServletReader} to notify the developer <em>when</em> and <em>how much</em>
 * data is ready to be read without blocking.
 * </p>
 *
 * @since Servlet 3.1
 */

public interface AsyncIOInputSource {

    /**
     * @return the number of bytes (or characters) that may be obtained
     *  without blocking.
     */
    public int dataAvailable();

    /**
     * @return <code>true</code> when all data for this particular request
     *  has been read, otherwise returns <code>false</code>.
     */
    public boolean isFinished();

    /**
     * @return <code>true</code> if data can be obtained without blocking,
     *  otherwise returns <code>false</code>.
     */
    public boolean isReady();
}

ServletReader

package javax.servlet;

import java.io.Reader;

/**
 * @since Servlet 3.1
 */

public abstract class ServletReader extends Reader implements NIOInputSource {
}

WriteListener

package javax.servlet;

import java.util.EventListener;

/**
 *
 * Callback notification mechanism that signals to the developer it's possible
 * to write content.
 *
 * @since Servlet 3.1
 */
public interface WriteListener extends EventListener {

    /**
     * This callback will be invoked when data can be written.
     *
     *
     * @throws Exception, {@link Exception} might be thrown by the custom
     *  handler code. This exception will be delegated for processing to
     *  {@link #onError(java.lang.Throwable)}.
     */
    public void onWritePossible(ServletResponse response);

    /**
     * <p>
     * Invoked when an error occurs processing the request asynchronously.
     * </p>
     */
    public void onError(final Throwable t);

    /**
     * Get the ServletResponse associated
     * @return
     */
}

AsyncIOOutputSink

package javax.servlet;

/**
 * <p>
 * This interface defines methods to allow an {@link javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream} or
 * {@link ServletWriter} to allow the developer to check with the runtime
 * whether or not it's possible to write data, or if it's not possible, to
 * be notified when it is.
 * </p>
 *
 * @since Servlet 3.1
 */

public interface AsyncIOOutputSink {


  /**
     *
     * @return <code>true</code> if a write to this <code>AsyncIOOutputSink</code>
     *  will succeed, otherwise returns <code>false</code>.
     */
    public boolean canWrite(int size);

}

ServletWriter

package javax.servlet;

import java.io.Writer;

/**
 * @since Servlet 3.1
 */

public abstract class ServletWriter extends Writer implements AsyncIOOutputSink {
