扩展单例(单例继承)

在此示例中,基类 Singleton 提供了返回 Hello world! 消息的 getMessage() 方法。

它的子类 UppercaseSingletonLowercaseSingleton 覆盖了 getMessage() 方法,以提供消息的适当表示。

                             because java compiler won't allow me to use
                             constructor of inner class in static context,
                             so I use reflection API instead.

                             To be able to access inner class by reflection API,
                             I have to create instance of outer class first.
                             Therefore, in this implementation, Singleton cannot be
                             abstract class.
