>From the documentation of java.lang.String:
strAction.compareTo(String anotherString)
strAction.compareToIgnoreCase(String str)
strAction.equals(Object ob)
strAction == "write" compares the references of the two objects, which is
most likly, if not always to be evaluated to false.
Seems to me that you need some more basic Java knownledge.
Visit comp.lang.java for questions of this kind or check some tutorial.

Subject: request.getParameter() in an if statement
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
