What happened to the above method?  This is related to 959470.

It was removed when I took the conversion framework code out of the
entity engine.

I know that.  But what is the replacement?  How can I get the
java.lang.Class for an entity field?  I'm asking because I didn't see
a way to do so.

I guess we could put it back. I added it when I put the conversion
framework stuff in the entity engine. The class was needed to select the
correct converter.

Additionally, JdbcValueHandler should be generified, similiar to the
conversion framework.

I agree. I tried to do that, but I ran into too many problems and I
didn't have time to work on it any further.
