String Constant Pool - Help Needed

[Sandeep Vaid]

Where exactly is the string constant pool is created. Indside the heap or some memory in RAM. What does it contains ? Objects??? but Objects are always created on heap.

In Kathy's book : Chapter 6 Page ; 415,416,418 :

String s = "abc"; // Now the object "abc" gets created on heap...???What about String Pool in this case???
