Manish,

You are right. Static blocks are executed only once when your class is first
referenced.

Subject: Static block issue.

Hi All,

If Im creating an object from a Session Bean.
Singleton pattern is used to create this Object.
There is one static block in this class.

Now my question is if n no. of beans create the object of this class in the
same JVM. Then its static block would be called only once.
Is this correct? Please let me know from your all good side.

And Im using this class to start one TimerTask thread to refresh my cache
after fixed amount of delay. Please comment on this design also.
Actually Bean is the entry point of my application so I cant start this. I
can call another helper class to start the thread but its more or less same.

So, plz give me your comments / help as its highly required.

Many Thanks.
regards,
Manish
