I have an interesting problem to which I have written a solution I don'
t like.

Here is a sample static class (followed by more precise requirements):

public class Initializer{

   private String name ="DefaultName";

   private SomeUtil utility=null;

   private static void  init(){
        if (utility!=null){
           return;
       }
       //initialize utility with name
   }

   static void setName(String name){
     this.name=name;
   }

  static T  someOp1 (T t){
   init();
    //some stuff
  }
   static T  someOp1 (T t){
   init();
    //some stuff
  }
   static T  someOp1 (T t){
   init();
    //some stuff
  }

 //***

}

Above utility class, can only be used when utility is initialized with
specific name. I accomplish that by either setting the name or calling
an operation, that performs a dirty check  to decide whether
initialization is needed, and if so - default name is set

Support initialization is expensive and doing more than once in not
desirable.

I don't like the above solution  because it calls init on every
operation.

Can someone suggest an alternative, more elegant solution (perhaps
along the AOP lines :) )?

Thanks
