Description Terry Kilshaw

I'm using Eclispe with some Tomcat code.

I have some static fields in a class that are assigned values.

When I run a method that attempts to change the value on any static field the value does not change.

I have tried all sorts of ways to get this to work but when I step through the code using the debugger I see that the value of the static field is shown as null.

Even if I assign it a value in the original declaration!

thanks,

Terry

Could you please provide a test case with steps to reproduce?
Do you see the problem only in the debugger? What about printing the value using System.out.println()?
Is the value changed?
