Java if condition check for empty and null values

How can I write a condition in java for a webservice request, In my webservice request I am passing an element that has SpeedInfo. In SpeedInfo element there is two sub elements Bandwidth and AccessSpeed.

This is my Request In SoapUI:

 <sch:SpeedInfo>
    <ns:Bandwidth xmlns:ns="http://lpp.att.com/logical/classofservice/schema/v1">4000000</ns:Bandwidth>
    <ns:AccessSpeed xmlns:ns="http://lpp.att.com/logical/classofservice/schema/v1">4000000</ns:AccessSpeed>
 </sch:SpeedInfo>

My Java condition:

if (request.getSpeedInfo() == null || (request.getSpeedInfo() == null && request.getSpeedInfo().getBandwidth() == null)){
    throw new Exception(" SpeedInfo Bandwidth must be passed in the request ");
}

I need my condition to check for 3 scenarios:

 1. if <speedInfo> itself is not present

 2. <sch:SpeedInfo> is present, but bandwidth not present:

  <sch:SpeedInfo>
      <ns:AccessSpeed xmlns:ns="http://lpp.att.com/logical/classofservice/schema/v1">40000000</ns:AccessSpeed>
  </sch:SpeedInfo>

 3. Bandwidth is present but no value  
   <sch:SpeedInfo>
      <ns:Bandwidth xmlns:ns="http://lpp.att.com/logical/classofservice/schema/v1"></ns:Bandwidth>
      <ns:AccessSpeed xmlns:ns="http://lpp.att.com/logical/classofservice/schema/v1">40000000</ns:AccessSpeed>
   </sch:SpeedInfo>

error I am getting:

2016-02-02 09:45:48,349  WARN http-bio-8080-exec-3--[c0a8381152a2a943f51] c0a8381152a2a943f51 fw.ws.MessageInInterceptor:49 - Content input stream is NOT null, nothing to log in handleFault()?

if (request.getSpeedInfo() == null || (request.getSpeedInfo() == null && request.getSpeedInfo().getBandwidth() == null)){

It is pointless to test getSpeedInfo() for null twice. Surely that is obvious? And this doesn't test the case where getBandwidth() alone is null.

To your requirement:

  1. If <speedInfo> itself is not present
request.getSpeedInfo() == null
  1. <sch:SpeedInfo> is present, but bandwidth not present:
|| request.getSpeedInfo().getBandwidth() == null
  1. Bandwidth is present but no value
|| request.getSpeedInfo().getBandwidth().isEmpty() // or whatever API call is appropriate to the datatype

Putting it all together:

if (request.getSpeedInfo() == null
||
request.getSpeedInfo().getBandwidth() == null
||
request.getSpeedInfo().getBandwidth().isEmpty())
{
    // request is invalid
}
else
    // request is valid ...

SpeedInfo speedInfo = request.getSpeedInfo();
if (speedInfo == null ||                // short circuit here means
    speedInfo.getBandwidth() == null || // that here speedInfo is not null
    speedInfo.getBandwidth().isEmpty()) { // Assuming getBandwidth() is a String or similar

        throw new Exception(" SpeedInfo Bandwidth must be passed in the request ");
}
