Hi...
If you want to get the values after a request was send, you can do it simply in the following way:
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
Map<String, String[]> requestParameters = request.getParameterMap();
Iterator iter = requestParameters.entrySet().iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
  Entry entry = (Entry)iter.next();
  String key = (String)entry.getKey();
  String value = ((String[])entry.getValue())[0];
  if (key.contains("<Your HTML-Element Id>")) {
    // trim your value
}These code you can put into your submitAction in the backing Bean where your inputfields are locaded. In the request are a lot of data and you dont want do trim all of this. The <Your HTML-Element Id>-String is a string you can locate your inputfields. For example "form1.inputField1". If you render the page, you can look at the HTML-Element Ids to get your Ids. Maybe you can use "key.contains("form1")" to get all fields in Form1.
