what is the best way to get other class of object reference??










-2















Sorry, i can't give better title.I have two class A and B.A class is singleton class.it always gives same object to whoever want it.Here B class always want that A object refenence. check follow code



class B

private A a;
B()
this.a=A.getAObject();

public void process(String args)

a.sendData();//line 1
(or)
A.getAObject().sendData();//line 2




which is best way as mentioned above line 1 or line 2 as performance wise like that??

    line 2. And remove the this.a=A.getAObject(); as class A is singleton object. You always need to access A's object by calling static method!

    This really doesn't make a difference, except perhaps for unit tests or readability.

You can reference of one class to another class by making reference of the other class



In your code you do something like this :



 class B 
private A a;
B(A a)
this.a=a; //refernce of a

public void display()
a.getA(); //display method of a



class A
public void getA()
....

But there would be scenarios like where you have to create a lot of instances of B. So in those scenarios there would be a performance impact since introducing a filed to that class means taking more memory when creating a instance.



If it is not a scenario like that, I think its better to assign it to a variable, since it will improve the readability of the code if you use that instance often in the class.

    No, introducing a field in class B means that every instance will take more memory. If there are lots of instances of B, that could have a very serious impact. There's really no point in having a copy of the same value in every object of type B.

  • Memory is part of performance - even in terms of execution time, as the more memory that is taken, the less effective the memory caches will be. I fail to see how "if you have to use the methods and variables in A class a lot" is general but "if there are lots of instances of B" is specific. Besides, making a general claim for something that fails to include a specific but entirely reasonable scenario isn't great either. The performance of the two options simply isn't the same.
