Object convertIfNecessary(Object value, Class requiredType) throws TypeMismatchException
Conversions from String to any type will typically use the setAsText
method of the PropertyEditor class. Note that a PropertyEditor must be registered
for the given class for this to work; this is a standard JavaBeans API.
A number of PropertyEditors are automatically registered.
