/**
 * 
 * The omnifaces.ToLowerCaseConverter is intented to convert submitted {@link String} values to lower case
 * based on current {@link Locale}. Additionally, it trims any whitespace from the submitted value. This is useful for
 * among others email address inputs.
 * 

 * This converter does by design no conversion in getAsString().
 *
 * 
Usage
 * 
 * This converter is available by converter ID omnifaces.ToLowerCaseConverter. Just specify it in the
 * converter attribute of the component referring the String property. For example:
 * 
 * <h:inputText value="#{bean.email}" converter="omnifaces.ToLowerCaseConverter" />
 *
