I have a client running and it implemenets Runnable, I want it to connect
to a server at certain time intervals to retrieve data. How can this be
accomplished? |

The fact that it implements Runnable doesn't necessarily mean anything here.
To have your client periodically connect to a server look at
java.util.Timer. Have the timer execute a timer task that does your client
connection operation. This may in turn require a Runnable, but it doesn't
have to be (and is probably best if it is not) a Runnable of your client.
Don't forget that you will probably need some kind of synchronization such
that when the task is executing, it doesn't conflict with whatever else the
client may be doing.
