I haven't delved too deeply into the XDT, except to make some very
simple changes, but I can tell you that calling trim() on a String will
not alter the underlying String. Instead it returns a *new* String that
has been trimmed, which you are promptly dropping on the floor. If you
solve the code-generation problem, you'll still need to assign trim()'s
result back to the property:
<XDtMethod:propertyName/> = <XDtMethod:propertyName/>.trim();
