The term "type descriptor" refers to a descriptor as described in the Java Virtual Machine specification, chapter 4.3 ( http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.3 ). That is, the type descriptor "[C" would be written as "char[]" in Java source code.


Kind regards,

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
