You've defined the variable strOutput within a limited scope (those brackets
immediately following the strHeader.equals(strCompare) evaluation) so it
doesn't exist by the time you get to the bottom. Try this:
String strOutput = null;
if (strHeader.equals(strCompare)) {
strOutput = "http://www.amazon.com/";;
} else {
strOutput = "http://www.bn.com/";;
}
or
String strOutput = (strHeader.equals(strCompare)) ? "http://www.amazon.com/";
: "http://www.bn.com/";;
(As an aside, I know the guy who owns the test.com domain, and you wouldn't
believe how many test emails/traffic/etc. he gets from developers who use
that domain when they're developing.)
