| 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. | |
