Benedikt Ritter commented on IMAGING-159:
-----------------------------------------

I don't know the domain well enough to decide whether a POJO/inheritance based 
approach is better then a generic parameter object pattern. The problem I 
wanted to solve when I created the ticket was the code duplication when 
accessing the parameters from within Commons Imaging. I don't want the "check 
if parameter is available, then check if parameter has the correct type" code 
scattered all over the place.

> There should be a Parameters class

> Currently options for image I/O are defined as Maps. The leads to the problem 
> that our code has to validate parameter types when they are used:
> {code:java}
> final Object value = params.get(PARAM_KEY_COMPRESSION);
> if (value != null) {
>   if (!(value instanceof Number)) {
>     throw new ImageWriteException(
>       "Invalid compression parameter, must be numeric: "
>          + value);
>   }
>   compression = ((Number) value).intValue();
> }
> {code}
> This can be simplified if we define a Parameters class that provides 
> additional methods like {{public int getInt(String key)}}. The implementation 
> could then look up the value from the map through an exception if it is null 
> or not a number.
