Hi all,
I think this thread would be more usefull on the dev list, but since it's here already...
Usually, use of static classes can mess with server environnement that are able to elegantly restart themselves without shutting down the JVM they use.
If classes are not taken off memory, values held by static classes remain....
There is a design pattern that is meant to handle this case : the Singleton. you make the class instanciable just once at a time. This is easily made in Java.
I don't know if this answer the question, but that's my $0.02 thought.

Pardon my ignorance, but could you sketch out the nature of the problem for me?
