Comparing String with == operator does not work. In such a comparison only
the references are checked for equality rather than the values. In order to
check for equality based on value try
if(key.equals("AT")){
}

Subject: Problem with if statement
I am trying to do something based on if key is equal to "AT", but I am not
getting any results. It acts as if key is not equal to "AT", but I can use
out.println(key) get "AT". Does anyone know why this might not be working?
if (key == "AT") {
..do something...
}
thanks,
Aaron
