For [configuration] there is currently a feature request [1] to add some
data type conversion facilities. In the ticket the reporter describes an
algorithm how to construct an object of class A from input of class B by
first searching for a corresponding valueOf() method, and then - if this
fails - trying to match a constructor.
I think, this is a pretty common use case, so it may make a useful
addition to [lang]. (Maybe to ObjectUtils?)
Thoughts?
