If key has a value "AT" and still it is saying that it is not equal to
"AT" then its only one mean that Key is of Objact type varaible. So u
can not compare it with == operator. Because when == operator is used
with objects then it checks to see if the objects being compared are
the same object instancs, and not whether the objects have the same
values. So if u want to compare for values then u have to use equals()
method of the Object class like this..........
if(key.equals("AT")
{
...
}
As i think it will help u
If not pl revert back.

maybe you should try
if(key.equalsIgnoreCase("AT"){
...
}
works for me.
