 String.trim().length() is an inefficient way to check if a String is really empty, as it
 creates a new String object just to check its size. Consider creating a static function that
 loops through a string, checking Character.isWhitespace() on each character and returning
-false if a non-whitespace character is found. You can refer to Apache's isBlank (in commons-lang)
-or Spring's hasText (in the Springs framework) for existing implementations.
