Hi, It is my understanding that Design Patterns like the Java singleton is used by framework developers. I.e. the Bean is a singleton.
It is also my assumption that the Java Singleton came in to being because Java is a network centric ground up construction. I don't think I will ever use the keywords singleton or instanceof as an application developer. It is my view that the intended audience for these language features are framework developers not application developers. I have purchased a number of books, all are incorrect and misleading if my view correct. I don't believe these language features came into being as "acts of God" , but scientific realisations that these features are required. So my point is I have not been able to find accurate information , if some one could furnish me a Java language specification or recommend a book which accurately describes these I would be grateful. I feel this would be the right place to seek such information because there are framework developers here. Regards Zahid
