I'm creating my own version of the STRINGValueConverter, but I'm having trouble binding it.

public class UpdatedSTRINGValueConverter extends STRINGValueConverter {

@Override
public String toValue(String string, INode node) throws ValueConverterException {
if (string == null) return null;
return string.substring(5, string.length() - 3);
}

@Override
protected String toEscapedString(String value) {
return "START" + Strings.convertToJavaString(value, false) + "END";
}
}

I get an error in the RuntimeModule when trying to bind it:
@Override
public Class<? extends IValueConverterService> bindIValueConverterService() {
return UpdatedSTRINGValueConverter.class;
}

you need to bind STRINGValueConverter in this case

public Class<? extends STRINGValueConverter> bindSTRINGValueConverter() {
return UpdatedSTRINGValueConverter.class;
}
