Static Variable Access from Junit class

[Ravissant Saraswat]

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to test a web application with multiple junit tests (with multiple inputs), for which I'm using a main class to call all these Junit test cases. Now what I basically need to do is, get some benchmarking parameters which I intend displaying on a jfree chart, that reads from a csv.
Now, all the benchmarking parameters are retrieved in a service I've written, all parameters set as public static variables in this service. I need all these parameters in the main class from which I'm calling the junit test cases. However , all variables come 0, even though all test cases execute successfully . The following is the code for the main class:

public static void main(String s[]) throws Exception {

		List<Class> juintClassList=new ArrayList();
		
		juintClassList.add(EvaluationTest1.class);
		juintClassList.add(EvaluationTest2.class);
		juintClassList.add(EvaluationTest3.class);
		juintClassList.add(EvaluationTest4.class);
		juintClassList.add(EvaluationTest5.class);
		juintClassList.add(EvaluationTest6.class);
		
		
		for(int i=0;i<juintClassList.size();i++){
		Result result = JUnitCore.runClasses(juintClassList.get(i));
		
                   CSVWriter.writeToCsv(); /// This is the java class in which I extract the static variables
// from the service to write to the csv file for each test case
		
		
		for (Failure failure : result.getFailures()) {
			System.out.println(failure.toString());
		}

		
		
		}
		BenchmarkingCharts.prepareChart();  /// This is where the csv is read to prepare a chart
	}

Please note that the endeavour works when I put the writeToCSV method in my service, but that isn't how I want it, I want to access the variable from the main class.
Please help!!!
Thanks,
Ravissant

Do you know if JUnit is running in a separate JVM? I don't think it is, but that's something to check. Another is when the variables get zeroed out.

Thanks for the reply Jeanne! Well, I don't know if JUnit is running on a seperate JVM, but after debugging, I suspect that the service class is unloading. I even tried to serialize the service object to deseralize in the main class but I got a "file not found" exception.
Could you/someone please tell me how I can persist the state/value of the object/variables so I can get those parameters in my main class?

Could you post the code that declares the variables?
