 /**
 24  
  * This class provides methods to verify the existence of Parameters, get the value(s), and get ParameterEvaluators. For the most
 25  
  * part, your code should be asking for a ParameterEvaluator and interacting with that. For optional parameters (ones that may not
 26  
  * exist but should be processed if they do), you will want to use the parameterExists method before using other methods, since an
 27  
  * exception will be thrown by the other methods if the referenced parameter does not exist. In some cases you may need to just pull
 28  
  * the value(s) of a parameter via the getParameterValue(s) or getIndicatorParameter methods. All of the methods that you will want
 29  
  * to use take a Class componentClass and String parameterName argument. Implementations of this class know how to translate these
 30  
  * appropriately to retrieve Parameters and construct ParameterEvaluators.
