[SOLVED] Hacking Singleton- Multiple instance of a Singleton class

[piyu.sha]

I was reading about singleton patter on web and there was a mention about a hacking technique which can create multiple instances of a Singleton class.

As far as I know java, we can not access private methods or constructor of a class outside it so how can a object be created.

Just wanted to know if this is possible or not?

Any help or pointers please....

I think that is possible through Reflection APIs, have a look at the Reflection APIs in details you should find something.

I have seen some code by which you can access private member of a class.
