Hi
I don't know if there's a difference in performance (and it will
certainly depend of the JVM implementation).
Personnaly I use the first alternative as it permits null values for
someString without throwing a NullPointerException. It's also possible
to have someString that's not declared as a String (you don't need to
cast it, and hence avoid a ClassCastException).
I hope I answered your question...
