Normally you use a ConverterLookup instead of instantiating converters
types, because the converter instances are typically reused. However, my
solution from above was not that different in the end. You may create the
converter in the constructor though and keep it as member to reuse it.

The only parameter you should be curious about is the Mapper. All the others
should be known. Normally you pass the Mapper in with the constructor of
your "outer" converter:
============== %< =============
class YourCustomConverter extends Converter {
Converter collectionConverter;
YourCustomConverter(Mapper mapper) {
collectionConverter = new DeskCollectionConverter(mapper);
}
}
============== %< =============

Fine. ;-)
