RMI + threading question

[stemy]

Hi
I have a problem.
Let's say I have a method "public int foo()" on a remote object, and I want to enable multiple invocations of that method my multiple clients.
My Idea was assigning a new Thread each the method is invoked and letting the thread handle it.
like this:
public int foo()
{
new MyThread().start();
}


public class MyThread extends Thread
{
..
public void run()
{
...(code for method)
}
}

my problem is, how do I return the value of the method from the thread ? I don't want to wait in the method until the Thread finishes, because then I might as well not used a Thread. is there a way to do that ?

Thanx.

interface fooer{
	public int foo();
}

class myfoo implements fooer{
	public int foo(){
		// does whatever
		return 1;
	}
	public void somefunction(){
		new MyThread(this);
	}
}

public class MyThread extends Thread
{
   protected foo _myfoo;
	MyThread(foo f){ 
		_myfoo = f;
		start();
	}
   public void run()
   {
		_myfoo.whatever();
   }
}
