What is the relationship between a thread of execution and an object?

If I have an object that has been initialized in one thread of
execution, and I create another thread of execution that calls a method
on that object, does that method execute in the first thread of
execution?

Based on initial observations of thread behavior in an application I am
developing, it does. I'm just looking for some clarification.

When you call a method from a thread, it executes in that thread period.
So with you example, no, the 2nd thread.

I think you may be misinterpreting your observations.

I must be... Hmm. Thanks for the reply. I'm going to go back and take
a closer look at what is going on.

Aha! I was calling thread.run() instead of thread.start(). Thank you
for your help.
