Stored procedure call removes spaces in text

[Trader Joey]

Hi All,
I have written a stored procedure to store some data into a table. The stored procedure contains an insert statement that inserts a new record. There are a number of fields that are of type varchar. When I insert a new record using this stored procedure, all the spaces in the varchar fields are missing. so "how are you today" is stored as "howareyoutoday". Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
I am using SQL Server as my database, the Microsoft JDBC connector for SQL.
This is interesting too.
When I call the stored procedure using the SQL server query analyser, the result is fine. The spaces show properly. Its only when I run the stored procedure through a Java client that the error occurs.
Thanks
Nikhil
