I noticed in the spec that the only Types supported by the various XXXParam
options are those that take a String constructor, have a valueof() etc.
I think it is important that you add suport for something like
PropertyEditors to the kinds of things that show here. The current support
makes supporting Date formats as an example tricky because it can only be
the formats that Date object supports directly unless I write my own Date
wrapper.
A java.beans.PropertEditor could be added as either a @Provider for a
certain type for the entire app or an an optional 'editor' or param to he
XXXParam tag.
This would make it easy to support any type you like as a Parameter. This
is also the way Spring supports conversion from various types so there's a
source for comparison.
Any thoughts,
Matt
