I could be wrong...
Honestly, you'd be better off adding a function to your action class
that would format a string to a specific length. It would be clearer
what was going on. Something like
public String formatString(String s, int maxLen) {
return String.format("%." + maxLen + "s", s);
}
It would also be an easy extension later if you decided that you wanted
truncated strings to end with elipses:
public String formatString(String s, int maxLen) {
if (s.length() < maxLen) {
return s;
} else {
return s.substring(0, maxLen - 3) + "...";
}
}
