 * <!-- START SNIPPET: javadoc -->
 * RequiredStringValidator checks that a String field is non-null and has a length &gt; 0.
 * (i.e. it isn't ""). The "trim" parameter determines whether it will {@link String#trim() trim}
 * the String before performing the length check.  If unspecified, the String will be trimmed.
