Hello,

I would like to declare a variable as static in MyServiceImpl so it is shared across class instances. I tried

static Dataset *idx;

The class does compile without the static keyword but fails to compile with static keywork. Any ideas??

Thanks,

Saleem

Actually sorry for this post. I believe I have figured out the issue.

Can you post your findings? It may help other users.

Sure. It was just a C++ issue. I declared the type to be static and then was assigning a value of NULL to it in the class constructor. This is not permitted in C++ since the variable is shared accross all objects.
