[thelist] JSP fumbling.....

[Paul Roub]

The == operator checks for object identity in this case, not identical
values.  You wan to say:

	if (HTTPMethod.equals("POST"))

Why does this *always* evaluate to false??

   String HTTPMethod = request.getMethod();
   if (HTTPMethod == "POST") {
      System.out.println("True");
   } else {
      System.out.println("False");
   }

Yet

      System.out.println(HTTPMethod);

On a form submit prints POST.

I'm stumped.
