Demo

//package com.book2s;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        String str1 = "book2s.com";
        String str2 = "book2s.com";
        System.out.println(compare(str1, str2));
    }/*from  w  w  w.j  av  a  2  s  .c om*/

    public static boolean compare(String str1, String str2) {
        if (str1 == null) {
            if (str2 != null) {
                return false;
            }
        } else {
            return str1.equals(str2);
        }

        return true;
    }

    public static boolean equals(String str1, String str2) {
        if (str1 == null) {
            if (str2 != null) {
                return false;
            }
        } else if (!str1.equals(str2)) {
            return false;
        }

        return true;
    }
