String concatenation - performance?

[Volker Held]

Hi,

i got a theoretical question....

Let´s say i need to "construct" a long
string out of may smaller ones either by
writing them hard-coded or by calling
method which return String objects, what
approach is more effective - using the
concatenation operator '+' or using a
StringBuffer and the append() method (
several times )?

thx for any advice..

It is the same !
The + operator makes a Stringbuffer internal in java so if you use + then
java converts it to a stringbuffer - thats way it is the same.
