Hello Tony,
That is strange. The difference between your code and my code is that I
declared both strings to be private, and neither are NEWed. I changed
my code according to your example, and I'm still getting an exception.
I guess there is a slight difference in our environment or libraries?
I'm using NetBeans with Java 1.5.

Learn the difference between null and "". "" will not throw an NPE if
you invoke methods on it. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/string.html,
the part about comparison and gotchas.
