How to access variable values across mappings?

Hi all,

I have created the following sample class Test.java and imported it as an archive:

public class Test{

public static String myStringData = null;

}

In one of the mappings, I have a UDF that sets the "myStringData" using the foll:

Test.myStringData = "Amit";

I am trying to access this variable in another mapping using a UDF with foll statements:

String test = Test.myStringData;

result.addValue(test);

However, on testing the second mapping I get the value of the variable as null. I have activated all objects.

Not sure what exactly I am missing here...Kindly provide your inputs.

Thanks..

Amit
