I have to write the trim functionality like below.
public void setUserComment (String value) {
this.userComment = (value != null) ? value.trim() : value;
}
But this needs to apply this in lots of places in our existing place. any idea that uses custom annotation for this behavior. like.
@MyCustomTrim
public void setUserComment (String value) {
this.userComment = value;
}
Yes, we can easily do it with
@JsonDeserialize(using = TrimDeserializer.class)
private String name;
Now implement your TrimDeserializer
as below
public class TrimDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<String> {
@Override
public String deserialize(JsonParser parser, DeserializationContext ctx) throws IOException {
String str = parser.getText();
if (str == null) {
return null;
}
return str.trim();
}
}
