Hi My problem is that the class which will need this helper class does not know the values of param1 and param2, and so cannot create the Instance as if it is a java bean, these param1 and param2 values are only know by the initialization class. this is what i have come up with public class GetData { private String parm1,parm2; private boolean isInit = false; private static GetData instance = new GetData(); private GetData() { } public void setInit(String one, String two) { if(!isInit) { this.parm1 = one; this.parm2 = two; isInit = true; } } public static GetData getInstance() { return instnace; }
public String workString(String three) { return parm1 + parm2 + three; } } Ashish --- Eddie Bush <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I tend to follow the JavaBeans conventions: > > public class GetData { > private String param1; > private String param2; > > public GetData() { > } > > public GetData(String param1, String param2) { > setParam1(param1); > setParam2(param2); > } > > public String getParam1() { > return param1; > } > > public void setParam1(String param1) { > this.param1 = param1; > } > > public String getParam2() { > return param2; > } > > public void setParam2(String param2) { > this.param2 = param2; > } > } > > Note that the singleton pattern has nothing to do > with the way you > pass parameters.
