It is said that JAVA is very safe, as the JRE is allocated a dedicated space in the RAM all of the time. Therefore, no virus can piggy back............ Can anybody explain this concept of JRE getting space in RAM and HOW MUCH SPACE IS IT ALLOCATED IN RAM?
THANK YOU

RAM is allocated in the heap as required
The important point is that as Java does not allow arithmetic operations on pointers and validates array bounds you cannot access data outside the JVM. So you cannot pick and poke around.
