* {@link org.apache.commons.beanutils.Converter} implementation that handles conversion

* {@link org.apache.commons.beanutils.Converter} implementation that
* handles conversion to and from java.lang.Boolean objects.
*
* Can be configured to either return a default value or throw a
* ConversionException if a conversion error occurs.
*
* By default any object whose string representation is one of the values
* {"yes", "y", "true", "on", "1"} is converted to Boolean.TRUE, and
* string representations {"no", "n", "false", "off", "0"} are converted
* to Boolean.FALSE. The recognised true/false strings can be changed by:
*
* String[] trueStrings = {"oui", "o", "1"};
* String[] falseStrings = {"non", "n", "0"};
* Converter bc = new BooleanConverter(trueStrings, falseStrings);
* ConvertUtils.register(bc, Boolean.class);
* ConvertUtils.register(bc, Boolean.TYPE);
*
* In addition, it is recommended that the BooleanArrayConverter also be
* modified to recognise the same set of values:
*
* Converter bac = new BooleanArrayConverter(bc, BooleanArrayConverter.NO_DEFAULT);
* ConvertUtils.register(bac, bac.MODEL);
*
*
*
* Case is ignored when converting values to true or false.
