Struts uses ConverterUtils to populate action forms. 1)Register the string converter which trims leading and trailing spaces with ConvertUtils. You want to do this during application initialization in a ServletContextListener or a Struts plugin TrimStringConverter trimString = new TrimStringConverter(); ConvertUtils.register(trimString, String.class); 2) The class which strips the leading and trailing spaces. public class TrimStringConverter implements Converter { /** * Trims leading and trailing white spaces. * @param type the type of the class * @param value the value * @return the trimmed string */ public Object convert(Class type, Object value) { if (value == null) return null; else return value.toString().trim(); } } ----- Original Message ----- From: "K.C.
