a thread question

[skarosi]

Hi all...again
its the third post in just two days, but my assignment deadline is approaching and i am at the beggining.
anyhow,
i need to run 2 methods, from different classes as threads.
i have tried more or less everything that i could get my hands on, so i am asking you, my last chance

ok,i have this:
public class HelloClient{
public static void main(String[] args) {
TellClients tell = new TellClients();
ListenMonitors listen= new ListenMonitors();
tell.start();
listen.run(args);
}//main
}//HelloClient class

class ListenMonitors extends Thread
{
public void run(String args[]) {
try{...
...
}
catch{}
}//ListenMonitors


class TellClients extends Thread
{ public void run(String args[]){
try{
} //try
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("ERROR: " + e);
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
}
}//main
}//TellClients
i have tried to call run within the methods, from the first class, everything that i could thing of, but nothing, it only run the furst one.

thanks, Ilias

If you want to run a class as a thread you must extend Thread class (as you do) and also override a method with a no-arg signature for the run() method - which you do not - which is why it does not work.

If you want to pass in parameters to a Thread class you need to pass them into the constructor, and leave the run() method with no args.

Eg :

class ListenMonitors extends Thread
{

public ListenMonitors(String args[]) {
  this.args = args;
}

String args[] = null;

public void run() {
   try{...
       ...
       }
   catch{}
 }//ListenMonitors
