Whitespaces not getting removed.

[Manu George <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
    When the deployment descriptor entries are populated into the
corresponding objects, the white spaces tabs newlines etc are not
getting stripped off. Since JAXB is being used for population do we
need to set some setting to strip whitespace eg using xs:token instead
of xs:String in the schema? OR do we need to manually do it by calling
trim when we populate the info objects?

Thanks
Manu

Looks like we can use XmlAdapter (http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/ 
api/javax/xml/bind/annotation/adapters/XmlAdapter.html).  At first it  
looks like you have to set this on every String attribute, but  
according to this blog post you can set it at the package level:
