Hi ,

<property name="parameterValue" type="string" length="100" column="SMPAR_VALUE"/>

parameterValue having string object of 100 characters, it may having data or not. while retriving data from hbm.xml mapping, is there any way of truncate the value for eleminating blank spaces??

I've read your post several times but I'm not sure to understand what you mean.

I't seems you want to eliminate blank spaces from the begining and the end of your string. You have a function to do that in the Java API, trim().

If what you want is to access to the string directly and don't know where to put the function call, mind that hibernate works through reflection and access your properies using setters and getters, so, instead of the classical:

void setProperty(String property) {
this.property = property;
}

String getProperty() {
return(this.property);
}

you can use:

void setProperty(String property) {
this.property=property.trim();
}

String getProperty() {
return(this.property.trim();
}

Don't know if that was what you was looking for. Hope it helps.

Hi ,
i would like to trim object value in XML file level.
if it is java bean level it is very easy. but when ever we need to take that value in differnt places, always add trim statements to the java code.
is there any possible way to trim in hbm.xml file level.

thanks
