Say >foo.properties: >component.factory=some.package.with.Factory It's not that I need many converters but would rather keep them in their own classes. It's that I don't need many converters at all. Like everyone else, I've had to use valueOf/parseInt/toArray/asList every now and then, mostly to deal with data type differences from 3rd party libraries. But not much, certainly not enough to come up with a special library for it. Don't mistake this for a strong -1 vote. I see why you want it, I just haven't had a need for it, so I wanted to see your reasoning -- thanks for sharing it ;) Yoav Shapria This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
