I’m trying to make a simple chat server in Java. Now I have a thread that accepts the tcp-ip connections, ads users, removes users and add comments.

I would like to erase any users who where on for x amount of time and had no contact with the chat server. I was going to have a separate thread, that would be in a different class do this.

The problem is that the thread that accepts the connections contains a class called cUser to handle the users, and the class for doing the time out would not see this class.

In c i could just have a global. I was thinking about making the cUser class members all static, seems a little messy.

Is there a clean way to do this?

    If accessing the class is your main concern, then moving it into a separate file and delcaring the class public is one option.

    Or you can have call back methods on the main class to be able to communicate with your inner class 

    Also you can use this.getClass().getDeclaredClasses() to access the inner class
