String and StringBuffer

[Ravi Ahuja]

hello freinds
i wanted to know the reason behind the output of this particular program:
 

class try1
{
static void meth(String s)
{
System.out.print("String");
System.out.println(s);
 
}
 
static void meth(StringBuffer sb)
{
System.out.print("StringBuffer");
System.out.println(sb);
 
}
public static void main(String ar[])
{
meth("invoked");
}
}

This code gives the output as
Stringinvoked
Can Anyone explain Why ?
Thanks in advance

String literals are always instances of String.
