DateTimeConverter implementation that handles conversion to and from java.sql.Time objects.
 This implementation can be configured to handle conversion either by using java.sql.Time's default String conversion, or by using a Locale's default format or by specifying a set of format patterns. See the DateTimeConverter documentation for further details. 

Can be configured to either return a default value or throw a
ConversionException if a conversion error occurs.
