Greetings All
I have been corresponding with Stephen regarding some design decisions
being made in [convert]. I'd like to make a couple of pugnacious
declarations and hope that ensuing discussion generates good ideas and
consensus.
I'll first state my beliefs, then I'll try to justify them
of ConversionFactory and that the ConversionFactory
interface should be simplified. I think this relates to point #2 of yours
below...

Subject: [convert] Use cases
LA 1) The actual conversion logic should be implemented in small chunks,
LA inside the most primitive, bare code-container, interface :
LA public interface Conversion {
LA public Object convert(Object value) throws Exception;
LA }
I agree that the interface should be small, but I am not
LA public interface Conversion {
LA public Object convert(Object value) throws Exception;
LA }
RB I am not too sure about the Exception. Throw-everything forces
RB the caller to Catch-everything. Maybe a more specific Exception,
RB like ConversionFailedException, is sufficient.
