Thanks in advance

Answer 1

hi siva
actually he is creating object of MyInterface class and assigning it to myinterface and making as staic final variable he is giving access to outside members of the class.but it is not accesable to non subclasses of outside packages.
So u can use that object with out using the class name of the implementation class.
it is not fully singleton pattern, because there is neither a private constructor nor a static method which gives the object of type MyInterface.
Thanks & Regards
