    Description copied from class: PJConverter
    
    Convert an XPath value to a Java value of a specified class
    
    Specified by:
    
    convert in class PJConverter
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the supplied XPath value
    
    targetClass - the class of the required Java value
    
    context - the XPath dynamic context
    
    Returns:
    
    the corresponding Java value, which is guaranteed to be an instance of the target class (except that an empty sequence is converted to null)
