how to implement a java thread???

I am a college student working at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). I have a question that maybe someone can answer or perhaps can show me where I can possibly find an answer.

I am running a scenario that involves multiple beans with multiple message passing. Is there a way for two beans to send the same event at the same time. I believe that the use of the Java thread can perform this task, but I am not sure how to set it up. I want multiple beans to be able to launch multiple event concurrently. Java seams to work very sequentially and I have not been able to organize events so that they run parallel.

Does anyone have any advice. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jesse Elder

Try the Timer class introduced with jdk1.3. This can be used to sync up the two threads.Also you can use the notify method , such that one thread would notify the other before executing the bean operation.
