request.getParameter() in an if statement

[J�n Dal Kristbj�rnsson]

Hi,

can anyone tell me why I can't use any comparison with a requested parameter
value, like this:

        String strAction  = request.getParameter("fmAction");

        if (strAction == "write") {
                out.println("Test");
        }

If I print the strAction string it gives me "write", but the if statement
won't accept it.

Thanks,
Jon Dal
