My understanding of http://struts.apache.org/2.1.2/docs/type-conversion.html#TypeConversion-GenericsandErasure is that Struts cannot *infer* the actual type of a generified type. (And that was the very first statement I made at the beginning of this thread.) Which is exactly why I intend to *specify* the conversion (and not let Struts attempt to do something which it can't do). It's obvious from the erasure of generics that Struts could not (even in theory) deduce the correct conversion. But if I specify my own converter, why does it fail to make use of it? I don't see that the reference I quoted makes any comment about that...
