[Advanced-java] enclosing class creating a thread advice

[toneil@xxxxxxxxxx (Tim O'Neil)]

All;

I have a class that spins off a thread to do some work on a
data file. This class hangs subordinate classes out to do
i/o and random access file work that must be referenced by
the thread. I am currently passing a reference to the entire
enclosing class to the thread so it has all the stuff it needs
to do its thing. This works, but it seems kinda ugly to me.
I wonder if this is the way to go or does this seem like a
scenario for reflection or some other method?
