Groovy If statement is not behaving as expected

Thanks for the guidence. Actually I am querying directely.  The whole this I am doing for the test data preparation. Allow me to explain what I am doing:

In Srep 1:  I am searching some command which has certain type, state description and order state by using the below query, This is from database A

Stepname: JDBCRequestForGettingCommandInCoolingOff

Select top 1 COMMANDID 
From Command with(nolock) 
Where TypeName LIKE 'Provide%' 
and commandstatedescription = 'CoolingOff'
and orderstatedescription = 'Processing'
and agentid=5
order by datereceived desc

Step 2: Step Name: JDBCRequestForCheckingCommandPropertyID

In this step from s differemt database "B", I am checking wherther the commandID i found in step 1 has CommandPropertyID in(61,276,605)

Below SQL I am using for this:

Step

select * from ORTCommandPropertyData
where CommandID in ('${JDBCRequestForGettingCommandInCoolingOff#ResponseAsXml#//Results[1]/ResultSet[1]/Row[9]/COMMANDID[1]}')
and CommandPropertyID in(61,276,605)

Because I am quering from two different databases so I have to dothis in two sepearte steps

Step 3: Groovy Scriprt 

ArrayList ar = new ArrayList()
jdbcXml = context.expand('${JDBCRequestForCheckingCommandPropertyID#ResponseAsXml}')
def root = new XmlSlurper().parseText(jdbcXml)
root.ResultSet.Row.each{row->
ar.add(row["COMMANDPROPERTYID"])

}
ArrayList requiredField = new ArrayList()
requiredField.add(61)
requiredField.add(276)
requiredField.add(605)


	for (j=0; j<requiredField.size();j++)
	{
		if (ar.contains(requiredField[j]))
		{	
				
			testRunner.gotoStepByName("Update"+requiredField[j])
		
		}
		else
		{   
		
			testRunner.gotoStepByName("Add"+requiredField[j])
		}
	}
	

As you could see this scripti has 3 logical parts

In the first part, I am parsing response xml generated in step2 and storing COMMANDPROPERTYID value in array ar.

I have test this step separately and works fine, I manage to print this array which returns the correct value

In the 2nd part I have cretaed another ArrayList  requiredField with hardcode values , so quite strightforward 

In the last step where I feeling pain on the back side I am checking whether elements of ar contains in requiredField, 

this if (ar.contains(requiredField[j])) returning false every time

I didn't get why this is returnig false, within the else block , I printed both arrays and found that array ar also have one or more  value from set (61, 276 ,605).

The whole thing I am doing is not complex but I am not sure why this giving me such a pain. :(

I appriciate your help and based on above explaining I hope you will identify my mistake or suggest me some alternate.

By the why i tried  by playing with quotes both in ar.add(row["COMMANDPROPERTYID"]) and requiredField.add(61) statements though might be its because of datatype mismatch if statement returning  false.
