Hello all,
 
I am trying to validate my session data in an action class with a code similar to this
 
The CVP application has a test session variable with the value "Good Test" without the "" Logically, the if statement should follow the success path. But it does not. What am I missing here?
 
        strTest = actionAPI.getSessionData("test").toString();
       
        if (strTest == "Good Test") {
            // Success - do something
        } else {
            // Fail - do something else
        } 
 
Thanks

Benek,
 
Replace strTest == "Good Test"  with strTest.equals("Good Test"). One of the caveats of Java strings, == is not the same as equals.
 
Hope this helps,
Ranjana.
