java使用枚举实现单例,使用枚举实现单例（在Java中）

I have read that it is possible to implement Singleton in Java using an Enum such as:

public enum MySingleton {

INSTANCE;

}

But, how does the above work? Specifically, an Object has to be instantiated. Here, how is MySingleton being instantiated? Who is doing new MySingleton()?

解决方案

This,

public enum MySingleton {

INSTANCE;

}

has an implicit empty constructor. Let's be explicit instead,

public enum MySingleton {

INSTANCE;

private MySingleton() {

System.out.println("Here");

}

}

If you then added another class with a main() method like

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println(MySingleton.INSTANCE);

}

You would see

Here

INSTANCE

enum fields are compile time constants, but they are instances of their enum type. And, they're constructed when the enum type is referenced for the first time.
