/**
* Base {@link Converter} implementation that provides the structure
* for handling conversion <b>to</b> and <b>from</b> a specified type.
* <p>
* This implementation provides the basic structure for
* converting to/from a specified type optionally using a default
* value or throwing a {@link ConversionException} if a
* conversion error occurs.
* <p>
* Implementations should provide conversion to the specified
* type and from the specified type to a <code>String</code> value
* by implementing the following methods:
* <ul>
* <li><code>convertToString(value)</code> - convert to a String
* (default implementation uses the objects <code>toString()</code>
* method).</li>
* <li><code>convertToType(Class, value)</code> - convert
* to the specified type</li>
* </ul>
*
