/**
 * <p>
 * The javaType binding declaration can be used to customize the binding of 
 * an XML schema datatype to a Java datatype. Customizations can involve 
 * writing a parse and print method for parsing and printing lexical 
 * representations of a XML schema datatype respectively. However, writing 
 * parse and print methods requires knowledge of the lexical representations ( 
 * <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/"> XML Schema Part2: Datatypes 
 * specification </a>) and hence may be difficult to write. 
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class makes it easier to write parse and print methods. It defines
 * static parse and print methods that provide access to a JAXB provider's 
 * implementation of parse and print methods. These methods are invoked by 
 * custom parse and print methods. For example, the binding of xsd:dateTime 
 * to a long can be customized using parse and print methods as follows:
 * <blockquote>
 *    <pre>
 *    // Customized parse method 
 *    public long myParseCal( String dateTimeString ) {
 *        java.util.Calendar cal = DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime(dateTimeString);
 *        long longval = convert_calendar_to_long(cal); //application specific
 *        return longval;
 *    }
 *     
 *    // Customized print method
 *    public String myPrintCal( Long longval ) {
 *        java.util.Calendar cal = convert_long_to_calendar(longval) ; //application specific
 *        String dateTimeString = DatatypeConverter.printDateTime(cal);
 *        return dateTimeString;
 *    }
 *    </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * There is a static parse and print method corresponding to each parse and 
 * print method respectively in the {@link DatatypeConverterInterface 
 * DatatypeConverterInterface}. 
 * <p>
 * The static methods defined in the class can also be used to specify
 * a parse or a print method in a javaType binding declaration.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * JAXB Providers are required to call the 
 * {@link #setDatatypeConverter(DatatypeConverterInterface) 
 * setDatatypeConverter} api at some point before the first marshal or unmarshal 
 * operation (perhaps during the call to JAXBContext.newInstance).  This step is 
 * necessary to configure the converter that should be used to perform the 
 * print and parse functionality.  
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * A print method for a XML schema datatype can output any lexical 
 * representation that is valid with respect to the XML schema datatype.
 * If an error is encountered during conversion, then an IllegalArgumentException,
 * or a subclass of IllegalArgumentException must be thrown by the method.
 * </p>
