That's interesting... I'll have a look at that tomorrow- The sqlmapconfig dtd 
does have a typehandler child..

Subject: RE: calling trim() on sql map returned strings


IBatisNet has support for replacing the built-in type handlers:

 <typeHandlers>
  <typeHandler type="String" callback="TrimStringTypeHandlerCallback"
/>
 </typeHandlers>

TrimStringTypeHandlerCallback could be implemented in such a way that
it automatically calls trim() before sending values to the database.
You could continue to use the normal #property# syntax without having
to specify the type handler using parameter maps and/or inline
parameter settings.

Here's a list of some other useful default type handler replacements I
thought of:

I don't believe the Java version has this functionality.
