As explained in previous mail adaptable pattern requirement is to
enable such a support within Oak itself. due to multiple layers
involved.

We can expose such a service also if that helps. That service
implementation internally would anyway have to use adaptable pattern.
public class OakConversionService{
<AdapterType> AdapterType adaptTo(Binary b, Class<AdapterType> type) {
if (b instanceof Adaptable) {
return (type)b.adaptTo(type);
}
return null
}
}
So just another level of abstraction.
