Question

I’d like to expose some functionality via a WCF service. I can configure WCF to instantiate a class per-request but am unsure how I can get a reference to a communal singleton –

If I were to have some functionality to store a list of calls to a method (call it LogMethod) via WCF in memory and return that list when the GetLogs method is called

I’m aware I could use a database/the file system to pass this data back an forth but in many cases, that seems to be overkill.

Can someone explain how I can use a singleton class (I’m aware it will need to be thread-safe) ?

Many thanks

Edit: It seems that nobody has a clear answer – I can’t believe this is complex. Am I missing something obvious?

I finally found a WCF article that explains an even better way of implementing this… “Discover Mighty Instance Management Techniques For Developing WCF Apps“
