HttpClient Static instance

[vjayakumar]

What is issue that might arise by keeping the HttpClient instance static in
a Utility class.

Before I use the static instance of the httpClient I make the check and
initialize it.

Please let me know if there is a better way to implement this?


            //Initialize the HttpClient & enable Concurrent execution of
HTTPmethods
            if(httpClient==null) {
                  MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager connectionManager =
                        new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager();
                  httpClient = new HttpClient(connectionManager);

                  /*Set the proxy*/
                  if (proxy != null) {
                        httpClient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy(proxy,
proxyPort);
                  }
            }

Thanks & Regards,
Vasanth.
