Eric:
You are comparing a reference of a String and a String
by itself.
You are doing the following: referenceA.equals(null)
You should do: referenceA.equals(referenceB)
Both referenceA and referenceB must be String
references.
But, I think that what you want to do is:
request.getParameter("...").equals("otherString")
or
request.getParameter("...") == null
request.getParameter() gives you a reference, so you
should treat it as if. Hope this helps
