Using == on strings

[Dave Brosius]

I ran across this in org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl   Shouldn't this be               if (getChunkValue(fNodeName, achunk, aindex).equals( name)) {   ?           public String getAttribute(int elemIndex, String name) {         if (elemIndex == -1 || name == null) {             return null;         }         int echunk = elemIndex >> CHUNK_SHIFT;         int eindex = elemIndex & CHUNK_MASK;         int attrIndex = getChunkIndex(fNodeExtra, echunk, eindex);         while (attrIndex != -1) {             int achunk = attrIndex >> CHUNK_SHIFT;             int aindex = attrIndex & CHUNK_MASK;             if (getChunkValue(fNodeName, achunk, aindex) == name) {                 return getChunkValue(fNodeValue, achunk, aindex);             }             attrIndex = getChunkIndex(fNodePrevSib, achunk, aindex);         }         return null;     }
