Resolution: Fixed
> [beans] Make converters property aware
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: LABS-353
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LABS-353
> Project: Labs
> Issue Type: New Feature

> Affects Versions: Current

>
>
> Converters were born to be unaware that they are working on a specific
> property, and this is fine.
> However, with LABS-351, now converters have a new role in the system, that is
> not only to convert from one type to String, but also to convert it from some
> intermediate "meta-types" to some generic final types, like byte[] or
> streams. While the to-from String conversion can easily be handled without
> knowledge of any other context, other conversions are not as simple.
> Moreover, such converters could assolve another function, that is to
> "prepare" the data as required by the user. For example, issue LABS-213 is
> about having forbidden elements in a rich text HTML be removed from the HTML
> during the conversion phase. Another example could be the image converter to
> resize images to conform to requirements, or to convert them to different
> mime types than the one uploaded by the user.
> To do this, some converters requires access to the PropertyInfo object, where
> validation and other informations are present.
> As a rule however, converters must keep working when they are used not in the
> context of a property.
