Trigger RunIf Condition giving False

[Anonymous]

Hi All
I am using Run if Trigger in talend with the below condition
(String)globalMap.get("row3.STATUS")=="ACTIVE"
Value getting passed is ACTIVE but the trigger is failing and giving status as false instead of TRUE.
Please advice.
Thanks

Hi tanveer,

Please use below condition:

((String)globalMap.get("row3.STATUS")).equals("ACTIVE")

Let me know if it works.

This will work and the reason is that in Java the "==" operator checks to see whether the objects are the same (ie pointing to the same location in memory). What you wanted to do is check the value held by the object. It is like checking two boxes both containing the word "ACTIVE". "==" checks to see if the boxes are the same. ".equals()" checks to see if the contents of the boxes are the same.
