SetAttribute in JSP page and Apache tomcat server

Question

Hello all gurus: I have created a JSP using JDeveloper. It works fine within the web server installed with JDeveloper, but when I upload the application to apache tomocat server, it does not seem to work correctly.
I am using setAttribute property of the session object, to save data. Listed below is a section of the code. Not sure if it is a cookie issue or what.
<%
int i_count = 0;
if(session.getAttribute("create_user_first_time") == "") {
session.setAttribute("create_user_first_time","FIRSTTIME");
else {
System.out.println("SECOND TIME DUDE.");
System.out.println(request.getParameter("username").toString().trim());
i_count = createuser (
request.getParameter("username").toString().trim(),
request.getParameter("password").toString().trim(),
request.getParameter("Email").toString().trim(),
request.getParameter("DOB").toString().trim(),
request.getParameter("securityQ").toString().trim(),
request.getParameter("securityA").toString().trim(),
request.getParameter("Phone").toString().trim()
System.out.println("after create user");
System.out.println("i_count="+i_count);
if (i_count == 3) {
session.setAttribute("err_msg_create_user", "USER ALREADY EXISTS!");
System.out.println("err_msg_create_user: USER ALREADY EXISTS!");
else {
session.setAttribute("err_msg_create_user", "Congratulations " + request.getParameter("username").toString().trim() + "!!Please proceed to login at the following URL: <a href=Login.jsp target='_blank'> Login </a>");
System.out.println("CONGRATULATIONS!");
%>

I noticed the problem.The "Hello.jsp" file was still in "Notepad" format.Huh? What is it, the "Notepad" format?
Do you mean that it is saved as hello.jsp.txt? Just rename the file then.
It might be helpful to disable the setting "hide extensions for known file types" in the Windows Explorer options.
