For going from input -> collection you need the Converter, for collection
-> output you need the formatter. Have you created a custom
FormatterFactory?

I don't know too much stripes though, but if you provided some example I
would try to figure out something.

I used this project, together with mybatis' sample petstore to help me
understanding stripes:

hope it gives you some idea on your problem,
