NEW ISSUE: Conversion rules for property values are not specified

Resending with "NEW ISSUE" tag in the email subject line.

TARGET: Java Common Annotations and APIs

DESCRIPTION: Conversion rules for property values are not specified

The @Property annotation allows component implementations to
define SCA properties of any Java type.  However, there are no
rules stated for how property values specified in component
definitions are converted to the Java type of the property,
or what happens if this conversion fails.

PROPOSAL:

The conversion rules should follow the JAXB rules for mapping
XML to Java.

Suitable text should be added to section 2.1.5 describing how
property value conversions are performed and what happens if
the conversion fails.
