Automatic basic type conversion for acc
70%
Description
This is a feature suggestion:
Perform automatic type conversion for basic types. For example I have a form attribute of type Long and resource attribute of type String. When I perform provisioning or sync, it fails with "Form value [2037] for attribute [idPerson] has to be type of [LONG], given [java.lang.String]" (or similar for provisioning). Now it is required to do the conversion in transform to/from. Idea is to perform the conversion automatically for basic datatypes.

This feature can be dangerous and will do some "black magic". We need to talk about it before implementation. Possible solution: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/validation.html#core-convert-Spring-config.

- % Done changed from 0 to 70
In ticket #1076 was added default conversion from string to almost all persistent types instead:
- DOUBLE - here can be different number separator (.,) - depends on locale
- BYTEARRAY - not implemented now
