OK. You are correct.

Alex:

Yes.   I get it now.    My BeanConverter can pull the bean from 
*ObjectConverter's* object using ReflectionUtils (same as 
ObjectConverter had just done before calling my BeanConverter).

Its slightly redundant (repeating the reflection), but my BeanConverter 
gets more information doing your way.

Thanks for the help.
