ValueConvertor.convertValue is swallowing too many exceptions
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBREFLECT-38
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBREFLECT-38
             Project: JBoss Reflection
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Scott M Stark


ValueConvertor.convertValue(Class<Object>, Object, boolean, boolean) is swallowing too many exceptions. A bean like:
    <bean name="JndiBindings" class="org.jboss.naming.BindingsInitializer">
        <property name="ctx">
            <inject bean="InitialContextFactory" property="ctx"/>
        </property>
        <property name="bindings">
            <map keyClass="java.lang.String">
                <entry>
                    <key>ints/1</key>
                    <value class="java.lang.Integer">1</value>
                </entry>
                <entry>
                    <key>strings/1</key>
                    <value class="java.lang.String">String1</value>
                </entry>
                <entry>
                    <key>bigint/1</key>
                    <value class="java.math.BigInteger">12345.6789</value>
                </entry>
            </map>
        </property>
    </bean>

Incorrectly creates a String value for the bigint/1 entry because the attempt to call BigInteger("12345.6789") fails with
an java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException/java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "2345.6789"
in ReflectionUtils.newInstance(Constructor<?>, Object[]) line: 153	

We need to look at differentiating between failures.
