whether their values are equivalent. thats a powerful piece of
flexibility--one that you have elsewhere as well..

Divya,
You were probably a C++ programmer in a past life like myself. I made this
mistake myself when I first went from C++ to Java. The operator overloading
for string comparisons that you can rely on in C++ to compare two strings by
value doesn't work in Java. Java doesn't support operator over

In Java, the '==' operator does an identity comparison -- that is, two
object references are equal only if they refer to the same object.
To lexically compare two strings, do something like:
if (request.getParameter("val") != null &&
request.getParamet
