parameter types not restored between sessions
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: UDIG-1104
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-1104
             Project: uDIG
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: catalog
    Affects Versions: UDIG 1.1.RC5
            Reporter: Jody Garnett
         Assigned To: Jody Garnett
            Priority: Minor


The IService handle provides a Map<String,Serializable> for storing parameters ... so the following should work:
put( "url", new URL("http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/Home"))

And it does - and it will continue to work until the application is shut down and restarted.

When the application is restarted and the service is again created with the map of connection paramters everything is "downgraded" to Map<String,String>. The existing DataStore based services all handle this gracefully - but we should obey our contract and preserve type.

This is an implementation problem with "local" Catalog (and probably the CatalogPlugin - the catalog api does not require any changes here.
