How different Web Services can use a class which parses an XML file

Question

I am using RAD6.1 for developing and deploying web services.As I am using 15 web Services which uses a common class which is used to parse an XML file.As this XML file should be parsed only once and should be used by all the web services.I have made this common class as Singleton but it works as singleton for only one webservice and for other web service again it is parsing the xml file.I want to parse this xml file only once and used by all the web services.In my case tis file is parsed 15 times for 15 web services, but it should be parse donly once and used by all 15 services.Please give me the solution.
Thanks and Regards

Hello,
the 15 Webservices should have a static attribute which contains the xml:
private static String xml;
then initialise the xml like this:
if (xml == null)
xml = parseIt();
else
//do nothing, XML already initialised!
}
