Java is case sensitive! string != String
If you meant:
java.lang.String
Then I'll be buggered if I know what your problem is .... it really should be working!?
In a worst case senario, create your own replaceAll method:
class myUtils
  public static String replaceAll( String str, String find, String replace )
    String result = "";
    if ( str == null || find == null || replace == null ) return result;
    for ( int i = 0, lastfind = 0; i < str.length; i++ )
      if ( str.subString(i).startsWith(find) )
        result += str.subString(lastfind,i) + replace;
        lastfind = i + find.length();
        i += find.length();
    return result;
}Something like that should do it .... that was written of the top of my head and not tested or compiled .... so no promises! :p
