how to write a singleton class?

OO Patterns, UML and Refactoring would be the appropriate forum for this, I'm moving it there.

It's always worth doing a search here at JavaRanch. I found an old post here whch might be helpful.

If you're using JDK1.3, check out the enhancement section on the Collections Framework. The JDK1.3 has added java.util.Collections.singletonList and java.util.Collections.singletonMap. Most definitely .
