Comparing getString to String problem

I have some JSP code that's comparing a String value from a database and a hardcode value set in JSP...

String myName = "Terry";
tmp = r.getString("fname");

if (String.valueOf(tmp) == String.valueOf(myName))
{
System.out.println("You da man!");
}
else
{
System.out.println("-" + tmp + "- != -" + tmp2 + "-");
}

This code prints:
-Terry- != -Terry-

It seems like they are different variable type (getString and String) and aren't being compared properly. I was wondering if there was some way to convert getString to be compatiable with String.

Thanks for help,

Terry

I'm gonna answer my own question...

You can't compare Strings with "==" you have to use ".equals()"

ex.
String tmp = "Terry"

if (rs.getString("FName").equals("Terry")){

}
