One recommended approach is to implement the functionality desired from a Singleton as a CORBA or RMI object and bind it in the JNDI namespace. All clients can use JNDI to look up this object and use it.

Hi,
If you are using Serive locator pattern then you can make that singleton,to give one service at a time

HI Leena,
The Singleton's purpose is to control object creation, limiting the number to one but allowing the flexibility to create more objects if the situation changes. Since there is only one Singleton instance, any instance fields of a Singleton will occur only once per class, just like static fields.
Singletons often control access to resources such as
1.Database connections or
2.sockets
Thanks
