------------------------------------------
Hi Jacques
I was not sure about backporting it because this looked to me an improvement because it was very limited to REST. Internally if a developer tries to create a valid context for a service that has an attribute defined as BigInteger, he will always provide BigInteger.
JSON number passed in HTTP requests and when converted in Map will always have an integer type and that's where I needed this conversion.
I think backporting will be harmless anyway even if this fix/improvement will not be of much use in earlier releases. Please let me know accordingly. I just did not backport based on above logic. If you think we should do it, I will be happy to do it.
Thank you

> Create a new NumberConverter allowing conversion from java.lang.Integer to java.math.BigInteger.
> JSON number value is parsed as Integer by default and in order to pass the value to a service attribute defined as BigInteger, conversion is necessary in order to avoid type mismatch error.

> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No converter found for java.lang.Integer->java.math.BigInteger
