  Sets the whiteSpace facet of the validator.

  The value of the whiteSpace facet must be one of the following:

  • preserve
  • replace
  • collapse

  any other value will generate a Warning and set the whiteSpace to preserve.

  FIXME: This is not really a function of validation, but of XML processing before the string is returned from the XML processor. This should be moved to the FieldHandler, or somewhere else, but not here.

  Parameters:

  value - the whiteSpace value

• normalize

  public java.lang.String normalize​(java.lang.String value)

  Normalizes the given string according to the whiteSpace facet used.

  Returns:

  the normalized string.
