Mark, I think you're losing it :-).
Surely a double quoted string literal is a String object (or is
translated/converted to a String object -- I'm not surely exactly how
the language spec technically deals with it.) How else could you do
things like:
"a".equals("b")
And of course, if that was the problem, the code below wouldn't even
compile.
Not that I do know what the problem is :-).
But here's a quesiton: application is a pre-defined identifier in
JSPs, but what is the application in the line of servlet code below?
