But what if I'm using some library that has its own conversion needs, for example, in reading in an XML configuration file? I guess most conversions are pretty universal, volatile, but I can easily imagine conflicting Converters for java.util.Date, for example.
Looking at Converters, why is there no UtilDateConverter? Or just DateConverter?
Also, why does said converter not take a DateFormat in some way to allow
instance users to be able to allow that to be configurable?
Possibly the Converter API needs an additional argument-list option?
So I can say:
converterBean.convert(java.util.Date.class, "02/02/02", "YY/DD/MM")
While we're at it, it could be useful to add a Locale to a ConverterUtilsBean so that converters can be locale-specific.
