Hi All,
It seems that cost two memory spaces, right? so what I have to
do is assign errorStr=null when I want to assign a new variable.
----------------------------------
public static String errorStr = null;

{
..
..
errorStr="error A";
..

..
errorStr="error B";
.

}
----------

Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Boki.

in this code the there are two String literals that will sit in the
pool. All errorStr ever does is point to one or the other. no extra
copy is made.
