ConvertUtils instead of TypeUtils

           Summary: ConvertUtils instead of TypeUtils
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.1 Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other

        ReportedBy: xdury@hotmail.com


ConvertUtils from commons BeanUtils package should be used instead of TypeUtils 
for type conversions because it is more 'pluggable' (you can add/register any 
converter you want).

Until it's changed, I'm using something like this (I'm not sure this is a good 
solution):

TypeUtils.setTypeConverter(new TypeConverter() {
  public boolean canConvert(Object object, Class toType) {
    return ConvertUtils.lookup(toType) != null;
  }
  public Object convert(Object object, Class toType) {
    return ConvertUtils.convert(object.toString(), toType);
  }
});
