foo("a", Optional.<Integer>absent());

Example 2: java how to make a parameter optional

void foo(Map<String, Object> parameters) {
    String a = ""; 
    Integer b = 0;
    if (parameters.containsKey("a")) { 
        if (!(parameters.get("a") instanceof Integer)) { 
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("...");
        }
        a = (Integer)parameters.get("a");
    }
    if (parameters.containsKey("b")) { 
        //... 
    }
