Provides a MIDlet with a mechanism to retrieve named properties from the application management software. The properties are retrieved from the combination of the application descriptor file and the manifest. For trusted applications the values in the manifest MUST NOT be overridden by those in the application descriptor. If they differ, the MIDlet will not be installed on the device. For untrusted applications, if an attribute in the descriptor has the same name as an attribute in the manifest the value from the descriptor is used and the value from the manifest is ignored.
Parameters:
key - the name of the property
Returns:
A string with the value of the property. null is returned if no value is available for the key.
Throws:
NullPointerException - is thrown if key is null.
