why could you not just put this logic into your POJO.

example....

public void setThePropertyThatNeedsToBeTrimmed(String property) {
    this.property = property.trim();
}

Custom type handler support has been around for a while. One draw back
is that you can't say "use this type handler for all strings". You have
to specify the special type handler per each item in your
parameterMap/resultMap. A lot of people don't use parameter maps. Its a pain to have to specify a type handler for each and ever String in your
sql map files. Being able to set the type handlers globally cuts down
on the amount of extra clutter in your sql map files.

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

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.

So it does... I hadnn't spotted that.

One downside of doing it that way is that I can't use select *
anymore, but suppose I'll have to live with that.

Ta.

Hi Gareth,

Doesn't Informix have a trim-like function you could apply in your
query?

Like:

select trim(mycolumn) as mycolumn from mytable

Doing that kind of stuff in the database is the best pick IMHO.

Cheers,
Daniel Silva.

what I want to do is call trim() on all the strings I return from

the db.

Hi

All my iBatis created objects have large amounts of spaces in

their

string properties, because that is what my informix db returns - I
was just wondering if I need to make a custom type handler to do

this

for me, or is there an easier way?


Cheers
