    • option

      public Object option(String key)
      Returns the option with the given key. The key can either be a name prefixed with a namespace, or a name without namespace, in which case the namespace of the currently active outlet is used. In the case that the option is not set in this namespace, the parent namespaces are searched recursively. If the option is not set in any of the parent namespaces, null is returned.
