    Description copied from class: Parameter
    
    Takes a non-blank string, as supplied by the execution environment, and turns it into a typed value for this parameter. This method also performs validation, so if the string value is unacceptable in any way, a ParameterValueException should be thrown.
    It is an error to supply a null or empty string value.
    If this method fails (throws a ParameterValueException) and if allowClassnameValue is set, then a subsequent attempt will be made to interpret the stringVal as the classname of a suitable class with a no-arg constructor.
