Letters in stack trace

[Kriss Reddy]

Hello All,

What is the significance or meaning of letters L, I, V next to methods or classes in the java stack trace?

Example stack trace [not a real one] :
some exception .......
at com.xyz.abc.aMethod(Ljava.lang.String;)
at com.xyz.app.bore.Helper.saveObject(Lcom.xyz.Id;Lcom.DocMethod;)V(Helper.java:180)

Let me know if the post is not clear.
Thanks.

L = Object type (name terminated by semicolon)
I = Integer type
V = Void type

Hello Henry,
Many Thanks for your quick and easy reply and pointer. I do not have a clue about JNI [ added to my 'To read List']. If you excuse me another lazy question: does JVM place these letters?

Thanks.

Not sure of what you are asking here ...
