A ConversionService is a stateless object designed to be instantiated on application startup, then shared between multiple threads.
A ConversionService is a stateless object designed to be instantiated at application startup, then shared between multiple threads.
In a Spring application, you typically configure a ConversionService instance per Spring container (or ApplicationContext).
That ConversionService will be picked up by Spring and then used whenever a type conversion needs to be performed by the framework.
You may also inject this ConversionService into any of your beans and invoke it directly.

Now consider the type conversion requirements of a typical UI environment such as a web or desktop application.

In such environments, you typically convert <emphasis>from String</emphasis> to support the form postback process, as well as back <emphasis>to String</emphasis> to support the rendering process.
The more general <emphasis>core.convert</emphasis> system does not address this specific scenario directly.
To directly address this, Spring 3 introduces a new <emphasis>ui.format</emphasis> system that provides a simple and robust alternative to PropertyEditors in a UI environment.
