Description

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); }

});
