BTW, objects toString method prints the hashCode of the object in hex representation. That is not, necessarily, a memory address in the first place.

So, in short, you can't access the "memory location". The physical memory location has, for the Java programmer, no relevance. You do not need it, and should not even attempt to get it.

IOW why do you think you need it? There is probably a much better, and easier, way to do whatever it is you want to do.
