public class SpecialMaskConverter
extends GenericMaskConverter
implements Serializable

Special Mask Converter.
This SpecialMaskConverter is based upon the GenericMaskConverter. But this SpecialMaskConverter will never throw a ConverterException. This causes standard validation to take place. When using the GenericMaskConverter for example to convert zip codes. You would get the non informative message that value "x" does not adhere to the mask "#### UU" for example. Instead of the more informative messages that would be provided by validation.
Usage:
