Checking for null or "" value

[eizofitz]

Hi,
I'm new to working with Java and I'm wondering how do I check if a value (attlist) is empty.

I know how to check if it's equal to 'null'... i.e...

if(attList==null)

but I need to check if it's null OR empty and don't know the syntax for this. Is it something like...

if(attList==null || attList=="&quot

Thanks for the help in advance.

I'm not sure what type of object attList is, but if it is a String you can use the length() method:

if ( attList == null || attList.length() == 0 )

Hope that helps.
