referencing objects from static method

Hi, having a little trouble with a program, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Basically I have a Menu class with one static Main() method.
From this class a user has a choice by typing into terminal, and one of the choices is to display all information that will have been stored in an instance of my SortedLinkedList class (a subclass of LinkedList).
The instances of SLL are created in an InputReader class that reads books and users from a file and stores them in seperate SLLs.

So my question is, how can I print out the contents of these SLLs (by calling the overwritten toString() method) from the static method in Menu.

Or generically speaking, I think the question is:
How can I can call a method on an object from a static method in another class?

Thanks

By using a reference to that "object", of course.

The object that you are calling the method on either has to be static or you have to create that object from within the static method (or within a statically scoped block).

Not necessarily. The object reference can also be passed to the method as an argument. Which is the better way of doing this, unless, maybe, the "object" in question is a singleton.

You are right. I completely forgot that case. :-P
