Singleton Design Pattern Without Cloning Java

Issues with basic version of Singleton pattern design:
1) It could happen that SingletonPattern.getSingletonPatternObject() call may occur from 2 different places in an application at the same time and 2 objects get created which will violate the principal of the pattern

2) Consider the code
SingletonPattern clonedSingletonPattern = (SingletonPattern) obj.clone();
This code will create the copy of the singleton object which again violates the design patters implementation

To avoid above issues here is an improved version

public class SingletonPattern {

    // Make the constructor private so that it cannot be instantiated outside the class
    private SingletonPattern() {

    }

    // Variable for SingletonPattern class
    private static SingletonPattern singletonPattern;

    // Method to get the instance of SingletonPattern class
    public static synchronized SingletonPattern getSingletonPatternObject() {
        if (singletonPattern == null) {
            singletonPattern = new SingletonPattern();
        }
        return singletonPattern;
    }

    public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
        throw new CloneNotSupportedException("Thrown this exception in order to avoid the creation of copy of this object");
    }
}
