> First of all i hope you will let me stay alive :) because this is not a critical error or even a bug. My proposal will not help to make the method run twice as fast, but I think this would make the code easier to read, test and to maintain. I tested both methods with Strings of length 1 to 10000 and with growing size of the Strings, the second method got actual faster and it *never* was slower.
> This method is from the framework:
> {code:title=StringUtils.java|borderStyle=solid}
>     public static boolean isBlank(String str) {
>         int strLen;
>         if (str == null || (strLen = str.length()) == 0) {
>             return true;
>         }
>         for (int i = 0; i < strLen; i++) {
>             if ((Character.isWhitespace(str.charAt(i)) == false)) {
>                 return false;
>             }
>         }
>         return true;
>     }
> {code}
> I think this method would have the same result:
> {code:borderStyle=solid}
>     public static final boolean isBlank(String str) {
> return str == null || str.trim().length() == 0;
>     }
> {code}
