While studying struts i was reading about Type Conversions and in one of the methods implemented for the Converter i saw this kind of an expression
Now i may sound like stupid to so many but i never heard a static member called class in String class. I kept searching the API i could not find such a member in the String class, or Object or Class class or even the CharSequence class. what is this member and another such member that i am intregued about is the
String.TYPE
why does the API not show about these members. Is this some new development. All the drop-down assistence in eclipse shows such a static member for String. Which version has it ? Why was the need for a class member as well as TYPE member in the classes.What good do they do if they really exist and they are no GHOST members
