ch 8, review question 2 - OCA 8 - Boyarsky & Selikoff

[Guillaume Bailly]

Hi everyone,


Like said in one of my previous thread (https://coderanch.com/t/661771/java-programmer-OCPJP/certification/OCPJP-Console-readPassword#3072959), I have some problem with the review question 2 for chapter 8 on page 445. It says in the answer

Because Java puts all String values in a reusable pool

which seems to be correct according to the answers.

Is it really correct to say that all Strings are put in the reusable pool or does that mean something else? I'm a bit confused...

Thanks for your help.


Kind regards,
Guillaume

While it is more complicated than this, from the exam's point of view - all Strings are potentially reusable and insecure.

Ok, just to be sure we're on the same wavelength.
