If I have the interface:



public interface Val 
public NilVal NIL;



And a singleton class that implements it:



public class NilVal implements Val 

private static NilVal nil = null;

private NilVal()


public static NilVal getInstance()
if(nil == null)
nil = new NilVal();
return nil;




How would I go about instantiating NIL as a NilVal object in the interface?

          You can do



          public interface Val 
          Val NIL = NilVal.getInstance();



          However you could also do



          public interface Val 
          Val NIL = new NilVal();

          class NilVal implements Val
          private NilVal()




          or even



          public interface Val 
          Val NIL = NilVal.NIL;

          public enum NilVal implements Val NIL
