You can't do it that way... Your thread object "as" must be accessible from the outside world, so you have to make it a class or instance member

1. This is NOT a distributed Java problem
2. You are having a LOT of misconceptions about Java Threads - try to work through some simple examples first.
3. Study the Java Thread API - for example, your code:

    t.sleep(1000);     

does NOT make Thread t sleep. Go read the API carefully.
