Java doesn't have a notion of "parent" thread - all threads are siblings.

If you need to know the creating thread then you will need to keep track of this yourself. If you are using a custom thread class then simply add it to the state of that class and set it during construction. Otherwise you'll need to maintain a seperate table.
