本文通过一次有趣的访谈形式，深入浅出地介绍了Singleton模式的基本概念及其在软件开发中的应用场景。Singleton模式确保了整个应用中只存在一个实例，从而有效地管理全局资源，并避免了因多个实例引发的问题。
HeadFirst: Today we are pleased to bring you an interview with a
Singleton object. Why don’t you begin by telling us a bit about
yourself?
Singleton: Well, I’m totally unique; there is just one of me!
HeadFirst: One?
Singleton: Yes, one. I’m based on the Singleton Pattern, which assures that at any one time there is only one instance of me.
HeadFirst: Isn’t that sort of a waste? Someone took the time to develop a full-blown class and now all we can get is one object out of it?
Singleton: Not at all! There is power in ONE. Let’s say you have an object that contains registry settings. You don’t want multiple copies of that object and its values running around – that would lead to chaos. By using an object like me you can assure that every object in your application is making use of the same global resource.
HeadFirst: Tell us more…
Singleton: Oh, I’m good for all kinds of things. Being single sometimes has its advantages you know. I’m often used to manage pools of resources, like connection or thread pools.
HeadFirst: Still, only one of your kind? That sounds lonely.
Singleton: Because there’s only one of me, I do keep busy, but it would be nice if more developers knew me – many developers run into bugs because they have multiple copies of objects floating around they’re not even aware of.
HeadFirst: So, if we may ask, how do you know there is only one of you? Can’t anyone with a new operator create a “new you”?
Singleton: Nope! I’m truly unique.
HeadFirst: Well, do developers swear an oath not to instantiate you more than once?
Singleton: That’s right. My constructor is declared private.
HeadFirst: How does that work? How do you EVER get instantiated?
Singleton: You see, to get a hold of a Singleton object, you don’t instantiate one, you just ask for an instance. So my class has a static method called getInstance(). Call that, and I’ll show up at once, ready to work. In fact, I may already be helping other objects when you request me.
HeadFirst: Well, Mr. Singleton, there seems to be a lot under your covers to make all this work. Thanks for revealing yourself and we hope to speak with you again soon!
