making parent thread wait for children to finish

[developerinlondon]

i have a servlet which creates a few children threads to fetch some documents paralelly. At the end the servlet returns control to another script. But problem is the servlet doesnt wait for the children to finish. How can I make it wait for ALL the children to finish? anyone has/knows of some examples?
