null comparison
<p>This might sound like a real dumb question but please bear with me :)
so I have a if condition in my code like <code>if ((msgBO.getEmpId().equals("") == false )) {
// do something
}</code> My question is, if I make the above statement as <code>msgBO.getEmpId().equals(null) == false</code> 
would it make any difference or this way I am trying to compare two different things?</p>
