[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HV-35) Add a "trim" attribute to @NotEmpty

Hardy Ferentschik resolved HV-35.
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected

Adding a trim parameter might make it hard to integrate Hibernate Validator with the Bean Validation. Instead we could at a later stage add a new annotation, eg @NotEmptyTrimmed . 

Or one could use a combination of @NotEmpty and @Pattern(regex="(?!^[\s]*$)").

> Frequently where an empty string is invalid so would " " be invalid.  I think  trim attribute added to @NotEmpty(trim=true) would be a simple and useful addition.
