Hi Ray,
This is a real issue with some XML documents, but it's pretty easy to
handle. Just define a serializer for String to strip off the whitespace,
along these lines:
public static String stripString(String text) {
if (text == null) {
return null;
} else {
return text.trim();
}
}
then either use this directly as the deserializer, make it a named
format, or make it the default format for String - whichever approach
best suits your needs. See the <format> element doc page for details on
the last two options.

I was wondering if there is a preferred way to handle whitespace
contained in element values in an XML document from within jibx?
For example:
I have
<structure name="Item" field="item">
<value name="FieldA" field="fieldA" />
<value name="FieldB" field="fieldB" usage="optional"/>
</structure>
That corresponds to the xml of
<Item>
<FieldA>5555</FieldA>
<FieldB>
E000028901
</FieldB>
</ItemID>
Notice the whitespace that is in the FieldB element. I could easily
have the bean that this binding maps to handle the “trim” operation,
but should I perhaps consider the use of a deserializer, or other
mechanism within jibx itself?
Or perhaps I am splitting hairs….
Any comments are appreciated.
Ray
