What is the best way for a JVM to instantiate a String for a constant pool
entry of type "CONSTANT_String"? I'm looking for the most straightforward
approach that won't cause me a lot of grief down the road. There are a
number of constructors for String; should I use one of those, or just use
my inside knowledge of the String class to construct an instance manually?
The closest thing to sanity I can think of is to convert the UTF8-encoded
characters into a char array and then use the String(char[], length)
constructor. AFAIK I would have to implement the conversion myself.
Does this seem like the right approach?
Thanks!
