/**
 * A factory providing convenient access to a ConversionService configured with
 * converters appropriate for most environments. Set the {@link #setConverters

 * This implementation creates a {@link DefaultConversionService}. Subclasses

 * {@link GenericConversionService} instance of their choosing.
 *
 * 
Like all {@code FactoryBean} implementations, this class is suitable for
 * use when configuring a Spring application context using Spring {@code }
 * XML. When configuring the container with
 * {@link org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration @Configuration}
 * classes, simply instantiate, configure and return the appropriate
 * {@code ConversionService} object from a {@link
 * org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean @Bean} method.
