Hi Jay,

Not only is MappedByteBuffer's implementation OS-dependent, but it seems that Sun has recently banned the use of NIO for the assignments that it is distributing (there was a thread on this not more than a few days ago) so this would make the use of java.nio.MappedByteBuffer illegal.
The thread you mentioned is here:
Topic: We are allowed to use NIO Hi Sam,
It turns out that
NIO is allowed unless your assignment instructions explicitly prohibit it. It's certainly not required for the project and you might infer that since Sun is prohibiting it's use in some new project assignments that it's probably not recommended for the
SCJD project. I concur with the previous responses. You might be implementing a solution that is much more complex than it needs to be.
