Subject: Question about page parameters type. String?
Hi all!
I call my_page.jsp this way
http://my_server/my_page.jsp?color=red
Then I retrieve the value of the parameter "color" and then try to match it,
in the following way:
<%
String color;
color=request.getParameter("color")
if (color=="red") {
whatever1
}
else {whatever2}
%>
The answer is whatever2. I made sure the page is getting the parameter right
by writing it out. The question is
if I have to do any kind of casting.
Thaks in advance,
Julia
