JVM accessing Objects compared to array notation??????????

[Oxymoron]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me any resources or information concerning how the JVM accesses Objects in memory. Also how does the JVM access objects or types using the normal array notation.

e.g. myLinkedList.get( i );

compared to

myNormalObjArray[ i ];



Any information would be really useful, thankyou all!
