help with threads

Hello everyone,

I am having some trouble getting my head round the threads and was hoping someone may be able to help me out, here's my situation:

I am creating a client-server app using RMI. On the server I have one process which will be iterated indefinitely (lets call this thread1), however there are a number of other methods on the server which will be called by clients. Upon invocation of one of these methods I want the server to suspend thread1 execute the invoked method and then return to thread1.

Are threads the correct option for this? if so are my ideas realistic?

Any help\direction will be very much appreciated.

Thanks ahead
