well (for IBM JDK 1.6 compatibility) * ConversionService prevents Converter from trying to convert to a subtype of its actual target type * ConversionService is able to work with "Collections.emptyList()" Collection/Map if no converted elements * fixed nested element conversion with a DataBinder + ConversionService + PropertyEditor * restored DataBinder's ability to bind to an auto-growing List with unknown if possible (instead of first element) * fixed collection element resolution when using a ConversionService with a DataBinder * DataBinder uses a default limit of 256 for array/collection auto-growing
