Edit Question
Title
Body
I've seen many primitive examples describing how String intern()'ing works, but I have yet to see a real-life use-case that would benefit from it. The only situation that I can dream up is having a web service that receives a considerable amount of requests, each being very similar in nature due to a rigid schema. By intern()'ing the request field names in this case, memory consumption can be significantly reduced. Can anyone provide an example of using intern() in a production environment with great success? Maybe an example of it in a popular open source offering? Edit: I am referring to manual interning, not the guaranteed interning of String literals, etc.
