Hi Noah,
actually I think you fell on one of the classic java-coding-traps.
The string never compares in this way:
if (action == "test")
you should use
if (action.equals("test") == true)
Note I put the "== true" because I think it is more readable...
You can believe me, for a former C++-crack (like me) this trap
has trapped already too much.
good luck
Alexander Jesse
