 /**
 22  
  * The class <em>FieldConversion</em> declares a protocol for type and value
 23  
  * conversions between persistent classes attributes and counterpart objects supported by the
 24  
  * JDBC specification, e.g. <em>String</em> is supported by JDBC, so only an <em>empty</em> field
 25  
  * conversion is needed. But if the persistent class attribute is of type <code>int[]</code> a
 26  
  * field conversion to a supported field type is needed - e.g. <code>int[] ---> String</code>.
 27  
  * <p/>
 28  
  * The default implementation {@link FieldConversionDefaultImpl} does not modify its input.
 29  
  * OJB users can use predefined implementation and can also 
 30  
  * build their own conversions that perform arbitrary mappings.
 31  
  * The mapping has to defined in the OJB mapping configuration file - more see documentation.
