-----------------------------------------
Hello Yogesh,
we will need this functionality in order to make BU2 a substitute for BeanUtils
1. Currently I'm only having a vague plan on how to implement this. One thing I
know for sure is, that I don't want to have static methods that configure how
BeanUtils work. In BeanUtils1 you can register new Converters using static
methods. At the moment I'm thinking about something like this:
The BeanUtils class will serve like some kind of factory for BeanUtils
instances. It provides a preconfigured BeanUtils instance which has the
standard Converts registered. If users need a custom instance they can use a
builder kind of API to create a new instance, which they can pass around and do
stuff with. The standard instance that is registered on the factory can not be
changed to preserve behavior.
So implementing the registry is the second step. First we need to decide how
the API for customizing BeanUtils instances will look like.

> Hi,
> This is my first development JIRA for BU2 so apologies in case i m missing
> out on basics. Beanutils1 has a functionality wherein all the converters are
> registered and are called when conversion in value is required. This
> functionality is missing for BU2 project. I also saw that BeanUtils1 uses
> WeakFastHashMap for this, which seems like is having issues across
> architectures and did see few JIRA's on this. Wanted inputs if having a
> synchronized instance of WeakHashMap wrapped in the TransformerRegsitry class
> and providing methods to register, deregister, restoreDefault, lookup be
> desired?
