Global Objects

[Humberto Morales]

I am thinking about taking an existing .net dll and wrapping it with a web
service. The problem is that I need to create an instance of one of the
classes for use by other classes in the dll. So first thing that came to
mind was to create a global object in the global.asa file. Is there any
reason why this would not be a good solution. I know back in asp this wasn't
a good idea but now I am wondering if its ok. Pros, cons?

Thanks.

Humberto,

Your object needs to be thread safe, otherwise there shouldn't be a problem
unless you have to implement a lot of locks to make you object thread safe.
