Description

Currently the Validator.validate method only act on String values.
Since type conversion is already built into the ValueMap, it would be good to leverage that and to allow Validator to act on arbitrary types there!

Also the type conversion from ValueMap should be leveraged to do the type check in ValidationServiceImpl.validatePropertyValue rather than implementing a new thing in Type.isValid().
