[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HHH-1153) PropertiesHelper fails reading primitive values from hibernate-mapping when doc has whitespace

PropertiesHelper fails reading primitive values from hibernate-mapping when doc has whitespace ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1153 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1153 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Environment: rc2. Any database. Reporter: Rich MacDonald Fix For: 3.1 The PropertiesHelper class is used to extract primitives from the hibernate-mapping file. Unfortunately, it is implemented so as not to trim the values that are read from the file. So something like PropertiesHelper.getInt() will fail with a NumberFormatException if the argument contains white-space before or after the "int" value. For those of us who generate our hibernate-mappings with whitespace, this is a problem. For example, my hilo spec written as: <param name="max_lo"> 512 </param> will fail. It needs to be written as: <param name="max_lo">512</param> i.e., no whitespace between the >512< portion I autogenerate my hibernate-mapping files, and whitespace is all or nothing for me, and since people read it... ;-) The simple fix is to add trim() methods in the relevant methods of the PropertiesHelper class. A few min work for me, but I believe others would benefit as well.
