[Boost-users] Boost thread library wrapper

Hi all,
  I am trying to write a generalized object oriented wrapper for thread 
library implementation of Boost. 

 Boost threads take a function name as an argument when creting a 
thread. I would like create a warpper in C++ which would in some 
respects mimic JAVA and have a runnable interface which an threaded 
application would implement.
This code would explain what I want to do.. but my question is how can I 
do it or if there are already some wrappers out there that I can use for 
boost threads?
 Sample code :
----- MyThread.h -----
#include "myRunnable.h"
#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

class MyThread
{
  private:
    Runnable& task;
    boost::thread thr;

  public:
   MyThread( Runnable& threadTask )
  : task( threadTask ),
    thr( &task.run) // how do I do this ?
   {      
   }
};
---------------------------

Thanks,
Dhanvi
