Description

Currently (5.0.10-SNAPSHOT), Tapestry uses the TypeCoercer to convert such values, such as when building an event context or a page activation context.

We need a service to which we can contribute ValueEncoders that can be used instead of TypeCoercer.

This will open up a lot of possibilities in terms of automatically converting Hibernate entities to primary keys and back.
