Hi, >?am interested to know which topic prompts your question ? As you can see from the log file (below) the spring framework creates and destroys a singleton of a bean. So the singleton pattern is used by the container. I was also informed that the singleton is used to create a login screen. That also appears to be the case from the page http://www.blackwasp.co.uk/Singleton.aspx.
The login screen I will be using is the login.java and login.jsp in the struts2 "blank app" in "struts-examples-master". The struts framework also helps me with duplicate form submission. So do I need to use the singleton pattern ? 2019-12-13 21:01:06,882 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Pre-instantiating singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@6f1d30d: defining beans [numberGenerator]; root of factory hierarchy 2019-12-13 21:01:06,882 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Creating shared instance of singleton bean 'numberGenerator' 2019-12-13 21:01:06,882 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Creating instance of bean 'numberGenerator' 2019-12-13 21:01:06,895 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Eagerly caching bean 'numberGenerator' to allow for resolving potential circular references 2019-12-13 21:01:06,896 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Finished creating instance of bean 'numberGenerator' 2019-12-13 21:01:06,897 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.c.s.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext - Unable to locate LifecycleProcessor with name 'lifecycleProcessor': using default [org.springframework.context.support.DefaultLifecycleProcessor@d967f908] 2019-12-13 21:01:06,897 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Returning cached instance of singleton bean 'lifecycleProcessor' 2019-12-13 21:01:06,900 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.c.e.PropertySourcesPropertyResolver - Could not find key 'spring.liveBeansView.mbeanDomain' in any property source 2019-12-13 21:01:06,910 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Returning cached instance of singleton bean 'numberGenerator' 2019-12-13 21:01:06,910 [main] [INFO ] academy.learnprogramming.Main - number = 0 2019-12-13 21:01:06,912 [main] [INFO ] o.s.c.s.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext - Closing org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@3e92e10: startup date [Fri Dec 13 21:01:06 GMT 2019]; root of context hierarchy 2019-12-13 21:01:06,912 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Returning cached instance of singleton bean 'lifecycleProcessor' 2019-12-13 21:01:06,912 [main] [DEBUG] o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Destroying singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@6f1d30d: defining beans [numberGenerator]; root of factory hierarchy On Fri, 13 Dec 2019 at 01:33, Martin Gainty <mgai...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Singleton: > i prefer thread-safe implementations and generally eschew singletons > (unless extreme political pressure dictates otherwise) > https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/singleton-design-pattern/ > [https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/gfg_200X200.png]< > https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/singleton-design-pattern/> > Singleton Design Pattern | Implementation - GeeksforGeeks< > https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/singleton-design-pattern/> > The singleton pattern is one of the simplest design patterns.
