Hi all,

I'm passing information from a html page to a servlet.

Here is some code:

String param = request.getParameter("name");
if (param == null) sqlstr = "Select * from name";
else sqlstr ="Select * from name where fname like '"+param + "'";

and

if (param == "")  sqlstr = "Select * from name";
else sqlstr ="Select * from name where fname like '"+param + "'";

These both dont detect the blank value when they click submit on the jsp
page.  It always goes to the else part.

Am I doing something wrong??  Is there another way to detect if they entered
any data in the field on the form??

thanks,
Will
