Looks to me like you fell into the same trap I have a couple of times, which
is that using == on strings doesn't compare strings, only their memory
addresses. Try changing the 'action == "test"' statement (and the others
that look similar) to 'action.equals("test")'.
Note that you have an if statement that tests to see if action contains a
null string ("") *before* is tests to see if it is null. Asking for a null
pointer exception...
