I have a public static variable and two static methods say method_1 and method_2 in my apex class. Say the variable name is x. Now I have assigned a value to variable x in method_1. Now when I try to access the value for variable x in method_2, I get null even if method_1 is called at the time of page load and before method_2 gets called.

so you mean static block will be loaded to stack before the main method?

Hi,

I am new apex and visualforce. I have simple question. Why we write “static” keyword for test methods.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Surekha,
Can you explain what you want to say?

The error is saying you have to create ovject and then access method via object OR declare method as static.

Hi,
The complete class is loaded in a single shot and then execution occurs as per sequence in which they are written.

If you have SOP statements in Static blocks and Static Method. It will execute the statements of Static block only and to execute statement of static method you have to call it from somewhere. This doe not mean that Static block is loaded before method.
