Re: Digester trims whitespace

[robert burrell donkin]

adding a property to switch trimming on and off sounds like it might lead 
to later problems with extensibility. you need to switch on and off 
trimming. other people may want to normalize whitespace by (say) replacing 
concurrent sequences of whitespace with a single space. maybe we could add 
a strategy interface which rules could call to pre-process the body text 
and then create a default implementation that would call trim.

comments anyone?

You will need to write your own Rule implementation in order to do this.
For which Rule? I did not find a way to extend the built-in behavour in 
order to not have called trim().

A call to String.trim() is in
CallParamRule.java, CallMethodRule.java, BeanPropertySetterRule.java and 
NodeCreateRule.java

As I understand, to remove the trim() behaviour, I'd have to replace (and 
not extend) the built-in Rules, which seems wrong.

I think the trim() behaviour should be configurable with a call analogous 
to setValidating(boolean validating) somethink like setTrimming(boolean)
