 * new bean instance is created. A default bean class is not supported.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For data type conversions (which may be needed before invoking methods through reflection to ensure that the current
 * parameters match their declared types) a {@link ConversionHandler} object is used. An instance of this class can be
 * passed to the constructor. Alternatively, a default {@code ConversionHandler} instance is used.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * An instance of this factory class will be set as the default bean factory for the {@link BeanHelper} class. This
 * means that if not bean factory is specified in a {@link BeanDeclaration}, this default instance will be used.
