type-conversion

I'm working with legacy Java code which returns java.lang.object. I'm passing it into a function and I'd like to do some implicit conversions as such:

implicit def asInt( _in:Option[Object] ) = _in asInstanceOf[ Option[Int] ]
implicit def asDouble( _in:Option[Object] = _in asInstanceOf[ Option[Double] ]

private def parseEntry( _name:String, _items:Map[String,Object] ) = _name match{
    case docName.m_Constants =>
        new Constants( _items get( Constants m_Epsilon ), _items get( Constant m_Rho ),
                       _items get( Constants m_N ) )

Technically it goes on but I keep getting the same errors: expected Int, Option[Object] found.

How have I done my implicits wrong? I was hoping it would do the transformation for me instead of me having to write "asInstanceOf" each and every time.
