How to maintain a static object list in Java??

Question

I am working on an app with Java and Struts2.
I fetch all data from my DB to an Object(eg.XXX) List at once while Tomcat(7) is coming up. Then according to user selection, I am trying to get data from the same List by doing Ajax call. But it is failing and getting an empty list. I don't want to use session.
Can I use and global object list for this?? An Example will be more helpful.

Java does not have global variable, but the same can be achieved by the static members. But that will not solve your problem it seems.

Oh sorry.. what i mean was "public" object" ??

Not able to get the question, can you please edit your question...

Answer 1

I would say try to solve the Ajax problem,
even if you want to try the global variable/object try in the following way -

public class Global {
  public static int a;
  public static int b;
}

now you can access a and b from anywhere by calling

Global.a;
Global.b;

Answer 2

So this is what i am doing now.

public class AppABC {
    public static List<XXX> xxxList = new ArrayList<XXX>();
}

And i am calling it as

AppABC.xxxList
