Re: Singletons?

FWIW, here's how I
usually implement Singleton in Java:

public class Variant1 {
  private static Variant1 soleInstance = null;

  private Variant1() {
    /*You should declare all your constructors private, to avoid
instantiation. If you don't have any constructors, then create an empty,
zero argument, private constructor like this one.*/
  }

  public static Variant1 getSoleInstance() {
    if (soleInstance == null) {
      soleInstance = new Variant1();
    }
    return soleInstance;
  }
