Hi Polly,
Currently EclipseLink MOXy considers everything inside an element to be
significant, and therefore doesn't trim the value. You can work around
this in a couple of ways.
One would be to implement a Converter (see
org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.converters.Converter interface) and add
this to your mapping with a session customization. This would allow you
to manually trim the value before it's set in your object. You could
also do this with a custom attribute accessor. (see
org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.AttributeAccessor).
I agree there should be an easier way to do this. We should be able to
just add a flag on XMLDirectMapping to indicate that string values
should be trimmed.
Could you enter an enhancement request to this effect?
Thanks,
-Matt
