Description

Currently nested converters for <inputFile> aren't supported.

Something like this should be possible:
<inputFile>
<customConverter />
</inputFile>

The "problem" is, that getAsObject(....) only takes String, instead of Object.
So, the idea is, that the SimpleInputFileRenderer uses a convention, to pass in a (unique) identifier. Before that, the actual file is stored in the requestMap.
=>externalContext.getRequestMap().put(someKeyForTheUploadedFile, theActualUploadedFileImplementation);

So... a custom converter would look for the key in the reqMap to do whatever "transformation" is needed.
