On : 2.4.0.1.0 version, Web Workspace

When attempting to launch Web Workspace, it fails to start, and this error appears in the client log file:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "10 "

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Edit $NMS_CONFIG/jconfig/global/properties/CentricityTools.properties
2. Edit this line:
   log_retain_days = 5
   Add a space (or other non-numeric character) after the 5 (or whatever numeric value you may have configured)
3. Rebuild the cesejb.ear (via nms-install-config --java)
4. Redeploy the ear and restart the managed server
5. Attempt to launch a web workspace client
6. Check the client log for the exception.
