           Summary: Converters should really be final?
           Product: Commons
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Hi!

I'm using BeanUtils to copy properties from one bean to another. When it copies 
from String to boolean it should know that S means true ('sim' = 'yes' in 
portuguese) and N means false ('n�o' = 'no' in portuguese). 

So I was wondering to extend the BooleanConverter to use the existing 
functionality adding one more check as specified above but it's not possible. I 
don't want to recompile the entire bean-utils package as I want to be free to 
upgrade to new releases without worry. And I don't want to do what I'm doing 
now: I copied the entire BeanConverter logic, adding the new chars to the If 
statement. 

So what I'm asking to remove the final qualifier from the converter classes so 
they can be subclassed.

If needed I can create the patches, just let me know.

Daniel
