how to override thread.start() method in java?

Question

I need to implement thread.start() method in my java code. Please let me know through an example of overriding of thread.start() method and how it works?

Answer 1

class Worker implements Runnable{

public void run(){ if("foo"){ runFoo(); } else { runBar(); } }

private void runFoo(){ // something }

private void runBar(){ // else }

}

I'm pretty sure, you needn't to overwrite the start-Method.

By the way: Take al look at java.util.concurrent.Callable
