Question

i have a requirement, where i need to develop a single method which accepts any type of paramter(String or Integer etc) and applies trim() to remove leading and trialing spaces. please help me how to write generic method to achieve this?

Thanks!

It does not make a lot of sense, but here it goes:

public String trim(Object o) {
  if (o != null) { 
    return o.toString().trim();
  }
  return null;
}
