title: Design Pattern special case
body: <p>In Singleton design pattern if I create clone of my singleton class object, and printing both the object, I'm getting two different output but constructor being called only once. I'm confused, weather Singleton design pattern fails in such cases or its just a illusion?</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class LazySingleton implements Cloneable{
  
      private static LazySingleton lazy;
      private static int counter=0;
      private LazySingleton() {
          System.out.println(counter++);
      }
  
      public synchronized static LazySingleton getObject(){
          if(lazy==null)
              lazy=new LazySingleton();
          return lazy;
      }
  
      @Override
      protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
  
          return super.clone();
      }
