new to java, very simple question

[786snow]

I am very new to Java. I have a source file.

It has a class which has variables defined.

public static String ENGLISH_TRADE_FOOTER =
"<p>*To qualify, you must, during the immediately";


Now when I compile it, it created a class file. In that class file I see the variables, like

public static String ENGLISH_TRADE_FOOTER;

but don't see the text, is this how it is suppose to look aftre compiling?

Thanks

This forum is for threads about J2EE. For pure Java questions, post on forum269. But to answer your question, a compiled class is for machine consumption, and not necessarily human readable. If your program runs okay, why worry about how literal Strings are represented in the compiled version?
