- Method Detail
  - getConverter
```
<T> ParamConverter<T> getConverter(Class<T> rawType,
                                   Type genericType,
                                   Annotation[] annotations)
```
    Obtain a ParamConverter that can provide from/to string conversion for an instance of a particular Java type.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the supported Java type convertible to/from a String format.
    
    Parameters:
    
    rawType - the raw type of the object to be converted.
    
    genericType - the type of object to be converted. E.g. if an String value representing the injected request parameter is to be converted into a method parameter, this will be the formal type of the method parameter as returned by Class.getGenericParameterTypes.
    
    annotations - an array of the annotations associated with the convertible parameter instance. E.g. if a string value is to be converted into a method parameter, this would be the annotations on that parameter as returned by Method.getParameterAnnotations().
    
    Returns:
    
    the string converter, otherwise null.
