Re: start a thread in jini

Hello,

Blitz makes heavy use of Doug Lea's original concurrency library and is 
gradually being ported to backport-util-concurrent compatibility layer 
which provides util.concurrent emulation on JDK 1.4 and maps to the 
in-built implementation in JDK 5 and 6.

Thus much of Blitz's use of threads is based on this library - it 
doesn't actually do much in the way of periodic operation, almost 
everything is driven by external stimulus so it's threads are blocked on 
various conditions waiting to sprint into action.

There are one or two exceptions to this rule but they are simple cases 
and thus the threads are typically started and then sleep/wait for some 
period of time after which they perform some work and then sleep/wait again.

If you are handling simple cases, this approach (which you can see 
examples of in the Blitz source code) is likely sufficient.  For more 
complicated examples, you'll need to look in the Jini source code 
itself.  A simple search through the source code with something like 
Netbeans will do the job but I'd probably start with 
net.jini.lease.LeaseRenewalManager.

HTH,

Dan.
