Please help, need to make my class static.

[sumak]

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum as well as java. I struggled to write this class using jdeveloper. But the problem is I cannot/donot know how to make the class as a "static" class. I need to do that so I can load this class into oracle DB and then use PL/SQL to call the method. I appreciate any help you can give me. My code is as follows:
package com.av;
import java.io.*;
public class my1 {
String avMode = "SCAN";
boolean scan = avMode.startsWith("SCAN");
String avServer = "xx";
int avPort = x;
int the_return = 0;

/**
* @param fileBytes
* @param fileName
* @return
*/
public int scanfile(byte[] fileBytes,String fileName)

{
if (scan) {
AVClient avc = new AVClient(avServer,avPort,avMode);
the_return = avc.scanfile(fileName, fileBytes);
if (the_return == -1) {
return (the_return);
} else
return (the_return);
}
return (the_return);
}

}
Can anyone please help me?
rgds,
Suma.
