020 * {@link NumberConverter} implementation that handles conversion to
021 * and from <b>java.lang.Byte</b> objects.
022 * <p>
023 * This implementation can be configured to handle conversion either
024 * by using Byte's default String conversion, or by using a Locale's pattern
025 * or by specifying a format pattern. See the {@link NumberConverter}
026 * documentation for further details.
027 * <p>
028 * Can be configured to either return a <i>default value</i> or throw a
029 * <code>ConversionException</code> if a conversion error occurs.
