Design question

[Lars Schnoor]

Hi
I am using XML-RPC for a control interface for my application. My 
application starts a web server which loads the class that provides the 
XML-RPC methods.
I believe that the web server creates a new object of the class that 
implements the XML-RPC methods each time a XML-RPC method is invoked. 
This is not a problem as long as the methods do simple things like the 
calculator example, but if the method should manipulate data that is not 
passed in by the method it becomes a bit more complicated.

When my application starts up I create and initialize some objects, the 
XML-RPC based interface is used to manipulate the objects in my 
application, but since the interface class gets initialized for every 
method invocation I need to make my methods to manipulate the objects 
static and invoke them from the XML-RPC interface. Having to have all 
methods that should be invoked by the XML-RPC interface static is become 
more and more a problem. I was therefore wondering if it is possible to 
create and initialize the XML-RPC interface once and have the web server 
use this object again and again?
Thanks in advance!
