java 的 return 是指针

本题目不是很正确，但是我想说的是java的return 类引用是指针。下面一段代码

public class RetTest
{
    private TestEntity tsEt;
	private String tsStr;
	private int tsI;

    public RetTest()
    {
		tsI = 0;
		tsStr = "A";
        tsEt = new TestEntity();
    }

	public int GetI()
	{
		return tsI;
	}

	public int I1()
    {
		tsI = 1;
		return tsI;
	}	

	public int I2()
	{
		tsI = 2;
		return tsI;
	}

	public String GetStr()
	{
		return tsStr;
	}

	public String Str1()
	{
	    tsStr = "B";
		return tsStr;
	}

	public String Str2()
	{
		tsStr = "C";
		return tsStr;
	}

    public TestEntity GetEntity()
    {
        return tsEt;
    }

    public TestEntity Entity1()
    {
        //TestEntity tsEt1 = new TestEntity();
        tsEt.SetI(1);
        tsEt.SetIRef(new Integer(1));
        return tsEt;    
    }

    public TestEntity Entity2()
    {
        tsEt.SetI(2);
        tsEt.SetIRef(new Integer(2));
        return tsEt;
    }

   // public static void main(String[] args)
	public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        RetTest retTest = new RetTest();

		int Itest = retTest.GetI();
		System.out.println("I: " + Itest);

		int Itest1 = retTest.I1();
		System.out.println("I: " + Itest);
		System.out.println("I1: " + Itest1);

		int Itest2 = retTest.I2();
		System.out.println("I: " + Itest);
		System.out.println("I1: " + Itest1);
		System.out.println("I2: " + Itest2);

		//-----------------------------------------------------

		String str = retTest.GetStr();
		System.out.println("Str: " + str);

		String str1 = retTest.Str1();
		System.out.println("Str: " + str);
		System.out.println("Str1: " + str1);

		String str2 = retTest.Str2();
		System.out.println("Str: " + str);
		System.out.println("Str1: " + str1);
		System.out.println("Str2: " + str2);

		//-----------------------------------------------------

        TestEntity testEt = retTest.GetEntity();
        System.out.println("testEt -> Integer: " + testEt.GetIRef() + ", i:" + testEt.GetI());

        TestEntity testEt1 = retTest.Entity1();
        System.out.println("testEt -> Integer: " + testEt.GetIRef() + ", i:" + testEt.GetI());
        System.out.println("testEt1 -> Integer: " + testEt1.GetIRef() + ", i:" + testEt1.GetI());

        TestEntity testEt2 = retTest.Entity2();
        System.out.println("testEt -> Integer: " + testEt.GetIRef() + ", i:" + testEt.GetI());
        System.out.println("testEt1 -> Integer: " + testEt1.GetIRef() + ", i:" + testEt1.GetI());
        System.out.println("testEt2 -> Integer: " + testEt2.GetIRef() + ", i:" + testEt2.GetI()); 


		System.out.println("testEt = testEt1: " + (testEt == testEt1));
		System.out.println("testEt = testEt2: " + (testEt == testEt2));
		System.out.println("testEt1 = testEt2: " + (testEt1 == testEt2));
    }

}

class TestEntity
{
    private Integer iRef;
    private int i;

    public void SetI(int i)
    {
        this.i = i;
    }

    public int GetI()
    {
        return i;
    }

    public void SetIRef(Integer iRef)
    {
         this.iRef = iRef;
    }

    public Integer GetIRef()
    {
        return iRef;
    }
}

返回的结果为：

I: 0
I: 0
I1: 1
I: 0
I1: 1
I2: 2
Str: A
Str: A
Str1: B
Str: A
Str1: B
Str2: C
testEt -> Integer: null, i:0
testEt -> Integer: 1, i:1
testEt1 -> Integer: 1, i:1
testEt -> Integer: 2, i:2
testEt1 -> Integer: 2, i:2
testEt2 -> Integer: 2, i:2
testEt = testEt1: true
testEt = testEt2: true
testEt1 = testEt2: true

可以看出int 是值类型，返回的是值的copy
TestEntity 是一个类， 它返回的情况：

testEt -> Integer: null, i:0
testEt -> Integer: 1, i:1
testEt1 -> Integer: 1, i:1
testEt -> Integer: 2, i:2
testEt1 -> Integer: 2, i:2
testEt2 -> Integer: 2, i:2
testEt = testEt1: true
testEt = testEt2: true
testEt1 = testEt2: true

可以清楚的看出return的就是指针内容

而String类型的怎么看上去像是基本类型的一样呢？String也是类啊！
因为在String的对象池里，"A"、"B"、"C"三个字符串都是并没有存在的，这样每次String类型的对象每次=的时候相当于都要创建了一个String的对象。当然就如Str = new String("A); Str1 = new String("B"); Str2 = new String("C");这是三个不同的类当然在堆中的地址也是不同的。
由于String对象池的特性，有时候也会产生这样的情况。如果修改一些代码

...
          public String Str1()
	{
	    tsStr = "A"; //把“B”改成“A”
	    return tsStr;
	}
...

添加

......
System.out.println("Str = Str1: " + (str == str1));
System.out.println("Str = Str2: " + (str == str2));
System.out.println("Str1 = Str2: " + (str1 == str2));
......

关于String测试的部分就会是：

Str: A
Str: A
Str1: A
Str: A
Str1: A
Str2: C
Str = Str1: true
Str = Str2: false
Str1 = Str2: false

这时候“Str = Str1: true”，要理解这个其实对java中的String很熟悉的话也是很好理解的。因为“A” 在对象池里已经存在了，这时候=的时候后面是“A”的话，对象的指针就会指向已经存在的“A”，而不在新建对象。
return 针对对象是指针，知道的这点编写函数的时候，尤其类中全局变量，在被返回的时候有可能多个函数都返回，这样就要注意了，return的只不过是指针！
