I want to evaluate a parameter called "interest" and build dynamic HTML
content based on it's value. When I write the value of "interest" back out
to the web page it seems to have the correct parameter value. Lets say if
called with ?interest=Maps then it writes out to the web page "Maps".
However, when I try to make a comparison between "interest" and a String as
in the code below, it doesn't work if interest equals anything other than
"".
For example:
http://server/servlet/dynamic
This returns the content built in buildDefault()
http://server/servlet/dynamic?interest=Maps
Doesn't return any content at all.
// get initialization parameters
if (req.getParameter("interest") != null) {
interest = req.getParameter("interest");
}
else {
interest = "";
}
// build dynamic content
if(interest == "") {
out.println(buildDefault());
}
else if(interest == "Procedures ") {
out.println(buildProcedures());
}
else if(interest == "Cafeteria") {
out.println(buildCafeteria());
}
else if(interest == "Maps") {
out.println(buildMaps());
}
Thanks!
Jeff
