<T> ParamConverter<T> getConverter(java.lang.Class<T> rawType, java.lang.reflect.Type genericType, java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] annotations)
ParamConverter that can provide from/to string conversion for an instance of a particular Java type.T - the supported Java type convertible to/from a String format.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().null.
