'[L' prefix in Java reflection

Using Java6 reflection API, Class.getDeclaredFields returns pretty weird values. Example of class field:

protected String[] arrF = new String[15];

Using getDeclaredFields on proper Class, a Field is returned:

• name = arrF


• type = [Ljava.lang.String;

The question: does [L prefix mean that the arrF is an array? Can I always rely on that, i.e. the field is an array iff type is prefixed with [L? If no, how can I get some information about "arrayness" of the field?
