This compliant solution uses an enum and adds a custom readResolve() method that replaces the deserialized instance with a reference to the appropriate singleton from the current execution. More complicated cases may also require custom writeObject() or readObject() methods in addition to (or instead of) the custom readResolve() method.

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff
Classpublicpublic enum NumberEnumSingletonClass extends NumberNumberEnum {
  INSTANCE;
  NumberData number = new NumberData();
More information on correctly handling singleton classes is available in therule MSC07-J, “Prevent multiple instantiations of singleton objects.”
class SingletonClass extends Number {
   Exception {
  // ...
  private protected final Object readResolve() throws NotSerializableException {
    return INSTANCE;
  }
}

public class NumberData extends Number {
  // ...
}

This compliant solution uses composition over extension of the Number class. More information on singleton classes is available in rule MSC07-J. Prevent multiple instantiations of singleton objects.
