Trimming strings
Upon insert I want to trim strings going into the database. Is there an
easy way to configure this?
I know I can override all of the appropriate functions for my settings
and use StringUtils.trim(), then call super, but I would like an easier
method that I'm less likely to forget to do.
Thanks,
Richard

Sweet!
Keep in mind it isn't a good solution for a heavily trafficked web site
since it adds server load. You could also do JS onChange handlers on all
your textfields and let the browsers trim the inputs.

I made a Gist for you to keep the list less cluttered and preserve
formatting/etc (since the mailer would mess it up):

This is the wrong list, but how did you accomplish triming the form
inputs? Is there one of those wonderful hidden ways to do that
everywhere by default? That would accomplish my goals as well, as I am
using Tapestry too.

You could also use custom templates or, if a web application, hit it with a
big hammer and trim all form inputs every submit (that's what I did in a
Tapestry application).

You can subclass CayenneDataObject and override writePropertyDirectly.
That should do it.
