Sorry, I thought my shorthand was obvious.
The 1 line short hand was intended to represent any kind of String
compare:
String action = request.getParameter("action");
if("new".equalsIgnoreCase(action)){
// action is new
}else if("edit".equalsIgnoreCase(action)){
// or action is edit
}else if("delete".equalsIgnoreCase(action)){
// or action is delete
}
Laziness will get me every time! Hope you didn't spend too much time
debugging this. I wil try to be more specific in the future.

This is an oops which is hard to catch. If
request.getParameter("action") is "New",
(request.getParameter("action") == "New") is FALSE.
