I personally think we're over-thinking this thing. Keep it simple, folks:
public interface ConverterF,T
{
T convert(F from);
}
You can auto-detect the F/T parameters when a Converter is registered.

Hi,
Should the framework try to convert transitively?

You mean if it has a converter from A - B and B - C and you ask for
a conversion from A - C, it would figure it out? That's and
interesting idea. I guess you'd need to make sure there is no loss of
fidelity when doing the conversions.

Perhaps you'd have a different method on the registry like this:
ConverterF,T createConverterPath(ClassF fromType, ClassT toType);
This way, you're specifically letting the registry know that you're
okay with it filling in the blanks in between fromType and toType.

I'm okay with layers too. You need to open up the API for querying so that
upper layers can traverse the graph.

I don't think CSV needs anything special to accommodate type conversion.
The pattern I tried to introduce in the Commons Convert Getting

conversion might be needed. So, instead of hard-coding conversions, the

The only danger of static methods is that you can't override them.
BeanUtils first suffered from this fate and they then made an instance
version (BeanUtils2). Just said plainly, you can't customize well using
factory classes/methods.

I know of a project that might be able to help you with those proxies, too! :)
