public class StringLengthFieldValidator
extends FieldValidatorSupport

StringLengthFieldValidator checks that a String field is of a certain length. If the "minLength" parameter is specified, it will make sure that the String has at least that many characters. If the "maxLength" parameter is specified, it will make sure that the String has at most that many characters. The "trim" parameter determines whether it will trim the String before performing the length check. If unspecified, the String will be trimmed.
