Re: Dymanic if statement evaluation problem with string comparison

the core issue here is that == doesnt do what you think it does, in bsh 
or in java.
== compares 2 objects for identity , not the contents of 2 objects.
its possible for 2 objects to have the same value but not be the same object
Hence you should use equals()
