| Retrieves the repository's properties. This is meant to be similar
System.getProperties, but then not for the whole
system, but just for this application.
Also, instead of just have a map of String keys and values,
the property values are of the
com.uwyn.rife.ioc.PropertyValue type and are looked
up at run-time in a hierachical manner. This provides them with IoC
capabilities.
Since Java allows the configuration of an application through the use of
properties, many other sub-system have adopted a similar approach (for
example servlet init parameters). Most of the time an application runs
through several barriers of configuration that often function
independently. These properties make it possible for each sub-system to
add their properties to the same pool. This makes it much more convenient
to retrieve a property value.
