Description
ReflectionConverter honors local converters added with XStream.registerLocalConverter() as expected. JavaBeanConverter, however, seems to completely ignore local converters.
In JavaBeanConverter.marshall() the line:
context.convertAnother(newObj);
needs to be replace with:
context.convertAnother(newObj, mapper.getLocalConverter(definedIn, propertyName));
The opposite mapping needs to occur in unmarshall.
Note that I could not fix this by overriding JavaBeanConverter.marshall() due to it using the BeanProvider.Visitor() interface, which is not publicly accessible.

However, it's simply not right. The registration is based on reflection and does not have to match the property name of the bean. Otherwise it would have been implemented long ago.

This issue is a pain point for me so I have put together a patch based on the code on the description.
