Description
I noticed there is a `Converter` used with annotations, if possible to add a common `ConversionService` for all conversion cases, as a common fallbacks. eg. Config, JPA, JSF, etc. have their own converters, and make them also search the common `ConversionService` and adapt the common converters if not found in their parts.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing Converter used with annotations and reviewing how Config, JPA, and JSF provide their own converters; define the scope and fallback behavior for a shared ConversionService before implementation. Done requires an agreed design covering all listed conversion cases.
