Class<? extends AttributeConverter<?,?>> converter
```
    The converter class to register

```
Class<?> domainType
```
    The domain type to which this converter should be applied. This allows refining the domain type associated with the converter e.g. to apply to a subtype.
    With autoApply() set to true, this will effectively override converters defined with Converter.autoApply() set to false and auto-apply them.
    With autoApply() set to false, this will effectively override converters defined with Converter.autoApply() set to true and disable auto-apply for them.
