I noticed that utils.stringTrim() is deprecated. Is there an alternative?

Hi Hareendra,

“utils.stringTrim(Object)” has been deprecated. Check what type of argument you are passing to that method.  
If it is a non-string argument it will show that method to be deprecated.

Checked in Servoy version : 7.3.1

Thanks

Like sovanm pointed out: probably it is just the type of argument you’re passing that is wrong.  
If you hover over the deprecated command, holding the ALT-key, you will get a tooltip with information about the alternative.
