    public class LookUp
    extends AbstractSimpleSource
    Forwards the value associated with the given key, using the specified lookup table from internal storage.

    Input/output:
    - generates:
       java.lang.String


    Valid options are:

    -D <int> (property: debugLevel)
        The greater the number the more additional info the scheme may output to 
        the console (0 = off).

        The annotations to attach to this actor.
        default: 
     
    -skip (property: skip)
        If set to true, transformation is skipped and the input token is just forwarded 
        as it is.
     
    -stop-flow-on-error (property: stopFlowOnError)
        If set to true, the flow gets stopped in case this actor encounters an error;
         useful for critical actors.
     
    -storage-name <adams.flow.control.StorageName> (property: storageName)
        The name of the lookup table in the internal storage.
        default: lookup
     
    -key <java.lang.String> (property: key)
        The key of the value to output.
        default: 
     
    -missing-key <NO_OUTPUT|OUTPUT_MISSING_VALUE|OUTPUT_KEY|CAUSE_ERROR> (property: missingKey)
        The behavior in case a lookup key is missing (ie not found in the lookup 
        table).
        default: NO_OUTPUT
     
    -missing-value <java.lang.String> (property: missingValue)
