WW-3666 Trim surrounding whitespace before converting to non-String types - #2039

…non-String types
Padded request values such as " 42 " or " ACTIVE " were rejected by the
locale-aware number, enum and java.time paths, while primitive int/long
already trimmed. Boolean and Character silently misread them (" true " was
false, " x" was ' ').
XWorkBasicConverter now trims String and String[] values for scalar targets.
String/Object targets and converters registered for a type still receive the
raw value; arrays and collections trim per element. Whitespace-only input
follows the existing "" path, so boxed Boolean blank becomes null and a
whitespace-only Character keeps its first character.

Summary
Request values with surrounding whitespace (
" 42 "," ACTIVE ","\t2001-01-10\n") were rejected by most built-in converters. Only primitiveint/longalready trimmed, solongandLongdisagreed on the same input.BooleanandCharactersilently misread padded input, with no conversion error.XWorkBasicConverter.convertValuenow trimsStringandString[]values before converting to a non-String scalar target:double/float,BigInteger,BigDecimal), enums, booleans,Date/java.time,ClassconvertValueand are trimmed per elementString/Objecttargets keep the value untouched (they return before the trim), and so doList<String>elementsCharacter/char:" x"→'x'; whitespace-only input keeps its first character (" "→' '), preserving the existingtestConvertCharbehaviourWhitespace-only input now follows the existing
