/**
 * Custom subclass of org.apache.axis2.databinding.utils.ConverterUtil, i.e. the data conversion utility for
 * databindings in the ADB framework of Axis2.  The purpose of a custom class is to provide specific value
 * format conversions for certain datatypes, especially dates, timestamps and calendars for which the default
 * is inappropriate.  For these simple cases, the return value is of type String.
 * Converter methods to go from 1. simple type -> String 2. simple type -> Object 3. String ->
 * simpletype 4. Object list -> array
