Access global static object from web service ?

[romeo_a_casiple]

I'm looking to create an static object that has application scope and
be able to access that static object from my web service.

I understand there are two ways to do this :

1) use the object tag in the global.asax, such as:

<object id="objObject" runat="server" class="TestAppl ication.MyClass "
scope="Applicat ion" />

-- or --

2) Write a codebehind class and inherit from that in the global.asax
My question is, how can I access the static object from within my web
service ?

With method 1), if I access "objObject" from the web service code it
will not compile. I understand this might work if I was coding an
ASP.NET page, but this is a web service.

Any clues?

you can use singletone pattern in order to get the result you want

public class BigStaticObject
{
static object sync = new object();
static BigStaticObject instance = new BigStaticObject ();
private BigStaticObject ()
{}

public static BigStaticObject Instance
{
get
{
lock(sync)
{
if ( instance == null )
instance = new BigStaticObject ();
return instance;
}
}
}
}
