Thanks - I will review it when it will be in Jira.

All:
I implemented a simple change in ObjectConverterImpl. It solves the
problem I reported.
I added the following method:
protected Object newInstance(String className) {
return ReflectionUtils.newInstance(className);
}
Elsewhere in ObjectConverterImpl, it will now invoke
this.newInstance(classDescriptor.getClassName());
where previously the invocation had been
ReflectionUtils.newInstance(classDescriptor.getClassName());
Now I can over-ride the newInstance in MyObjectConverterImpl (which
subclasses ObjectConverterImpl). This allows me to construct objects
for my model using its factory class.
I will submit an enhancement Jira tomorrow to get this change into
ObjectConvertImpl.
