--------------------------------------
Summary: Some of the converters ignore the passed in target type
Key: BEANUTILS-446
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-446
Project: Commons BeanUtils
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ConvertUtils & Converters
Affects Versions: 1.8.3
Reporter: Oliver Heger
Fix For: LATER THAN 1.8.4
Many converter classes derived from {{AbstractConverter}} ignore the target
type in their implementation of {{converterToType()}}. They just perform a
conversion to their default type.
Depending on the way converters are registered, this may not be a major
problem, but it is inconsistent. In theory it can lead to unexpected data and
ClassCastExceptions after a successful conversion.
