I forgot the most obvious solution, which is to create a `java.lang.reflect.Proxy` from a simple `InvocationHandler` that delegates to `ProtocolSelector#select`. This is much simpler than defining a class directly from an ASM-produced `byte[]`, but I don't know what the performance implications are. @rschmitt not yet and it may take some time before I have cycles to spend here.  @rschmitt maybe you could create a POC with a JMH benchmark? @johnou Actually, I think I see a way to go through the `MethodHandle` API instead, which should combine the performance of the ASM approach with the encapsulation properties of the Proxy approach. (The ASM approach requires a `setAccessible(true)` call so that `defineClass` can be invoked.) Actually, the ASM approach could work nicely on Java 9 via this public method: http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/api/java/lang/invoke/MethodHandles.Lookup.html#defineClass-byte:A- Fixed by https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/7126 @normanmaurer did you by chance run the benchmarks to compare Java 9 ALPN to the other engines?  @johnou nope... that said I expect it to be slow still as SSL perf in JDK is still a way worse compared to netty-tcnative or conscrypt. Hi, I have JDK 9 and took the latest sample from the developer blog. Still I get a Connection Timed Out error.  Do I have to update anything ?
Do we care about double spaces?  And server mode? Throw unsupported operation exception?  Does this need to be invoked every setHandshakeSuccess?  Yes need to fix This way I not need any checks in SslHandler.... I guess it would be better to only call it once... let me fix actually this is good as it is  ObjectUtil.checkNotNull ? nit: check that the args are the correct count and type? should this be logged? optional, but I would put jdk ahead of alpn.   yep thats a good idea I think... at least with an assert... maybe... I am not sure.. @Scottmitch ? sure why not... not needed as we instance if only internally and we know it can't be null. as we cast arg[1] below I not added another assert here. You might consider renaming selectProtocol to clientSelectProtocol, or selectProtocolIfClient or something like. `selectProtocolIfClient` sounds good. Include what the name was?  i.e. 

`assert "apply".equals(method.getName()); : "unexpected method " + method.getName();` same comment as above. out of curiosity, what exception do you expect here that you want to ignore? in regard to the above, can you move this above the `if (JettyAlpnSslEngine.isAvailable()) {` ?  Jetty is a horrible hack and should be avoided if possible. We actually throw an exception if we want it to fail for example:

https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/4.1/handler/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/ssl/JdkBaseApplicationProtocolNegotiator.java#L205 +1 What's the point of this? In normal usage `setApplicationProtocols` method won't throw; `SSLParameters` is independent of the provider/engine implementation. Not a show-stopper, but...

This makes me a bit uncomfortable, because it is assuming quite a few things are working in concert[1]. For instance, this won't behave correctly if the default provider doesn't match the default SSLContext. That could be fixed by using `SSLContext.getInstance("TLS")` here instead. But it also doesn't work when explicitly providing a sslContextProvider.

The only part of this logic that is provider-specific is the `getter.invoke(engine);`. In `JdkSslContext`, could we pass the `sslContextProvider` to `JdkAlpnApplicationProtocolNegotiator`'s constructor, and plumb it into the decision-making? That would mean we would create a throw-away `SSLContext` and `SSLEngine` once per Netty-`SslContext` creation, though.

Technically, right now the provider can be different each `SSLContext/SSLEngine`, since the provider isn't fully-chosen until `JdkSslClientContext.newSSLContext()`. If `sslContextProvider == null`, it uses the default at the time of the call via `SSLContext.getInstance(PROTOCOL)`. It may be a good idea to "choose" the provider earlier, like in the constructor via `Security.getProvider("SSLContext." + PROTOCOL)`.

1. This was fairly unavoidable with Jetty ALPN, but seems avoidable (if still a PITA) with JDK 9-provided ALPN. the point was to try to use the method via reflection to ensure nothing will blow-up on runtime  @ejona86 the idea of this method was just to ensure all the reflective calls will work before we try to use these at runtime. I think if we change this to `SSLContext.getInstance("TLS")` this should be good enough, no ?  @ejona86 actually I think I understand now what you are suggesting. Let me try this... @ejona86 after thinking a bt more about it and hacking on it I think we should just use `SSLContext.getInstance("TLS")` for now and be happy.  The problem is that we still have constructors that take `JdkApplicationProtocolNegotiator` and so its hard to to make this work without any hacks. That said I deprecated these in another PR:

https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/7138 Oh, okay. FYI: setHandshakeApplicationProtocolSelector isn't tried here. That doesn't really bother me, though. Hmm... that is even more troublesome. Yeah, swapping to `SSLContext.getInstance("TLS")` is enough at this point. nit: this is not necessary as it it is used in `configureAlpn` before this method is called. > If the return value is null (no value chosen) or is a value that was not advertised by the peer, the underlying protocol will determine what action to take.

Returning `null` allows the underlying layers to determine what todo. If the implementation strictly follows the RFC it should fail the handshake with a no_application_protocol [1]. However some TLS implementations (e.g. OpenSSL) have not implemented support for this alert until recently and would no advertise support for ALPN instead of failing the handshake. Throwing a `SSLHandshakeException` ensured that we failed the handshake (maybe not with the correct alert because it wasn't exposed at the time). That is the purpose of `SelectorFailureBehavior` and `SelectedListenerFailureBehavior` to allow us to have control over this at the application level since lower levels allowed us more freedom.

[1] https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7301.txt nit: kill newline? should we try to use http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLEngine.html#getApplicationProtocol-- here? discussed with @normanmaurer offline. This may lead to treating the SslSession object differently in JDK9 and lower ... can we avoid this? If `Java9SslUtils.getApplicationProtocol(getWrappedEngine())` returns `null` (and maybe empty) (assuming the handshake is done) shouldn't we call [ProtocolSelectionListener#unsupported](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/4.1/handler/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/ssl/JdkApplicationProtocolNegotiator.java#L104)?

                                             JettyAlpnSslEngine.isAvailable();
``` can `applicationProtocol` be volatile instead of requiring synchronization? it would be nice not to have to call this on every wrap/unwrap. It looks like this is not necessary on the server. Is it worth having a `Java9ServerSslEngine` and `Java9ClientSslEngine` ... and the `Java9ServerSslEngine` wouldn't have todo this at all? `Java9ClientSslEngine ` wouldn't need to have `setHandshakeApplicationProtocolSelector` or `getHandshakeApplicationProtocolSelector` either. Good idea I can do this that said we still need the set and get as this must delegate to the wrapped engine to be able to delegate all methods of the java9 SSLEngine  Yep I think this should be fine  Let me find out... after thinking more about this I think it is fine to just keep one implementation and just reverse the checks as the JIT should be smart enough to know it will never match when the engine is server side. if it really shows up to be an issue we can do a followup. done > as the JIT should be smart enough to know it will never match when the engine is server side.

This would be an interesting optimization ... conditional code elimination based upon the usage of the class. Are you assuming the JIT would effectively? create the two different classes behind the scenes? basically I think the JIT should figure out that a boolean will always match or not match and if not just optimise the branch away ;)

That said after addressing your comment I need extra code for server and client side anyway. this call can be moved into the conditional below nit: fix argument alignment nit: fix argument alignment ![MINOR](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SonarCommunity/sonar-github/master/images/severity-minor.png) Consider using varargs for methods or constructors which take an array the last parameter.

Netty 4.1 should support ALPN on JDK9
This is obviously a known issue, but it's worth tracking. It may also be tricky to pull this off while compiling against JDK6; in particular, invoking `SSLEngine#setHandshakeApplicationProtocolSelector` requires passing a `BiFunction` implementation. I see a few ways of accomplishing this, assuming that calling this method turns out to be necessary:

1. Take advantage of [JEP 238](http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/238) (Multi-Release JAR Files) to compile and link a small amount of code directly against JDK9
2. Use reflection to call `java.lang.invoke.MethodHandleProxies#asInterfaceInstance`
3. Use a library like ASM to manually generate a `BiFunction` implementation at runtime
