Error msg does not appear

[vicneswaran boi]

if( !(vec.size() == 0)&& message.equals("")) {
errorMsg += "<LI>Please type in your message.";



this is my validateing procces ..Wat it does is that if no one writes anything in the text box and submits the error msg above should appear but in my case it does not. why is this so.

try if

 message == NULL
