> For example in AppDataHandler.create() there is code like this:
> Map<String, String> values = request.getTypedParameter("data", Map.class);
> Obviously there will be no way for the underlying BeanConvertor to know what the parameterized type is. 
> One way I can see to solve this is to add a new method to the BeanConvertor interface:
> public <T> T convertToObject(String json, Type type);
> So that in AppDataHandler you can do something like:
> Map<String, String> values = request.getTypedParameter("data", new TypeLiteral<Map<String, String>>);
> If this is acceptable, I will start working on a patch.
