Drew,
This is incorrect:
request.getParameter("username") == "andrew"
You should use "andrew".equals(request.getParameter("username")) instead
because
1) The .equals() method is used to test String equality in Java
2) Using "andrew".equals() prevents you from having to test
request.getParameter() returning null.

Subject: Simple login not working...
if (request.getParameter("username") == "andrew" &&
request.getParameter("password") == "andrew"){
pw.print("you are logged in "+ request.getParameter("username") +"
"+ request.getParameter("password"));
}
else{ pw.print("you are not logged in "+
request.getParameter("username") +" "+ request.getParameter("password"));}
I always get "you are not logged in ."
Am I comparing with the wrong sintax?
thanks,
andrew
