Niall Pemberton commented on BEANUTILS-353:
-------------------------------------------

The isUseDefault() method is not part of the "Converter" contract, so unless it 
was then there is no guarantee that the registered implementation has that 
method.

http://commons.apache.org/beanutils/v1.8.0/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/Converter.html

These converters are in a "per-classloader" static instance. in 
ConvertUtilsBean. If the default converters are not configured appropriately 
for your needs then you should register your own when the application starts up.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: ConvertUtils & Converters
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.0

>            Reporter: Franklin Phan

> One can never call isUseDefault() to check on a Converter given the way you 
> have ConverterFacade designed and in ConvertUtilsBean:
> {{
>     private void register(Class clazz, Converter converter) {
>         register(new ConverterFacade(converter), clazz);
>     }
> }}
