Nope, neither Struts nor your browser (HTML) trims whitespace on the data it submits. It really wouldn't be correct if either did because it would then not be an accurate representation of what was entered by the user (or transmitted by the client if its another machine). I mean, if someone enters " Hello " instead of "Hello", who's to say the first should be transformed to the second? You may have a use case that says those are two distinct values that you have to be able to differentiate. It might be nice if you could tell Struts (or the browser) to automatically trim all parameters, but as it is today, you cannot, you will have to write the code to do this, either on the client or the server.
