Dear People,
I have heard that there is a real difference between:
allocate() method which creates a buffer object and
getChannel() method that does not create a channel object
but only returns a new reference to an object that already exists.
Is there a way to distinguish this by looking at the coding ?

ie:

ByteBuffer myByteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(8 * PRIMECOUNT);

and:

FileChannel myInputChannel = myInputFileInAStream.getChannel();

Thank you in advance
Stan
