CFC getter and whitespace - Coldfusion - Advanced Techniques

[BSterner]

Wondering if this is a bug. Using the following code.

<cfapplication name="test" sessionmanagement="yes">
<cflock timeout="20" type="exclusive" scope="session">
<cfscript>
SESSION.cfcEmployee = createObject("component", "Employee");
SESSION.cfcEmployee.setFName("Joe");
getterVar = SESSION.cfcEmployee.getFName();
</cfscript>
</cflock>
<cfoutput>
SESSION.cfcEmployee.fname = #SESSION.cfcEmployee.fName#
getFName() = #Trim(SESSION.cfcEmployee.getFName())#
getterVar = #getterVar#
</cfoutput>

This is the output in the html source code...

SESSION.cfcEmployee.fname = Joe
getFName() =
Joe
getterVar = Joe


When I try to output the value directory w/my cfc 'getFName()' method, I
cannot get rid of the whitespace. I've tried using trim() to no avail. Any
thoughts?

You may have a carriage return in your string or other wierd characters,
which would not go away using the trim function. Maybe you can use a regular
expression to replace any non-alpha character with an empty string.
