OK, so I want to convert an entity having the MediaType of TEXT_URI_LIST into an Object, say a List<String> where each URL is an element of the list. I derive from ConverterService and override toObject(). Inside that method, I want to read the representation line-by-line, so I call Representation.toStream() then use an InputStreamReader and a BufferedReader.

But what do I do about IOExceptions? The toObject() method is declared to throw no exceptions. Or if I catch the exceptions myself, I have no way to call setStatus() on the response to indicate that the conversion failed any why.

The ConverterService API doesn't seem that useable.
