To install your own Converter or override any of the default Converters, extend from <code>org.springframework.binding.convert.service.DefaultConversionService</code> and override the <code>addDefaultConverters()</code> method.
Use the <code>addConverter(Converter)</code> method to register the primary Converter to use to convert between two types, such as a <code>String</code> and a <code>MonetaryAmount</code>.
Optionally use the <code>addConverter(String, Converter)</code> method to register alternate converters for the same type pair; for example, to support formatting a <code>java.util.Date</code> as a String in several different ways.
Consult the Convert JavaDoc API documentation for more information.
