Description

I have a POJO with the following field:

@Field(converter = LocaleConverter.class)
private Locale locale;

When I attempt to query for objects based on this field, I get a NullPointerException:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.jackrabbit.ocm.query.impl.FilterImpl.getStringValue(FilterImpl.java:281)
at org.apache.jackrabbit.ocm.query.impl.FilterImpl.addEqualTo(FilterImpl.java:129)

FilterImpl should preferentially use the atomic type converter defined in the @Field annotation to convert the value, then fallback to the global converters. Converting the Locale to a string for use in the query is a workaround, but the logic for string conversion should only reside in my LocaleConverter class.
