/**
 * 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>
