    in timer class i start a thread ,after thread expires ,i want to set a flag in node class...how can i pass the reference for the specific node object to the timer class so that it sets the flag of specific node.

    What did you try? It seems from your description you have a few ideas eg pass the reference to the constructor and hold onto said reference in a variable.

    You must pass the reference to Node through the main class that runs your program. Interest must accept Node as a parameter and give it to Data, which then feeds it to Timer.
