How to assign "Null" as a value to a string variable in Java

Question

I am trying to import users from Active directory and in one of the cases, the user has a last name as Null. Can I have some pointers as to how should I take this one down?

Why is this a problem? Is the name in the AD "Null" or is it a null value in the AD? — bmargulies

They way you state it: String myString = "null"; "null" is a string, null is the null value. So again: where's the problem? — Max Leske

That should be no problem, since it will be read as a String with the value "Null" not null.

There is nothing special about the string "Null"; you can use it normally.
