Integer wrapper class behaviour

[balamurugan rajkumar]

consider the following two cases

1)

Integer i3 = 127;

Integer i4 = 127;

if(i3 == i4) System.out.println("same object");

-----------

2)

Integer i3 = 128;

Integer i4 = 128;

if(i3 == i4) System.out.println("same object");

-------------

in case 1 we get same object as output. In the second case we don't get same object printed.
when the object i3 & i4 is compared using '==' with values between -128 to +127, the system prints same object. for any other value the same object is not printed.

could anyone explain why this happens and the reason?? thanks a lot in advance...
