Problem while developing a binding

High, I’m trying to work on the Tankerkoening binding (from @dolic).
I did run into a problem which I can’t understand.
I have several config setting in the “TankerkoenigBindingConstants.java” like:

public final static String CONFIG_API_KEY = "apikey";
public final static String CONFIG_SETUP_MODE = "setupmode";
public final static String CONFIG_USE_OPENINGTIME = "use_OpeningTime";

They are used in the “BrigeHandler.java” with no problem.
Using them in the “TankerkoenigHandler.java” raises a NPE, especially the “CONFIG_SETUP_MODE” in the last line shown here:

public void initialize() {
logger.debug(“Initializing Tankerkoenig handler ‘{}’”, getThing().getUID());

    Configuration config = getThing().getConfiguration();
    this.setLocationID((String) config.get(TankerkoenigBindingConstants.CONFIG_LOCATION_ID));
    this.setApiKey((String) config.get(TankerkoenigBindingConstants.CONFIG_API_KEY));
    this.setSetupMode((boolean) config.get(TankerkoenigBindingConstants.CONFIG_SETUP_MODE));

The errors:

The ApiKey isn’t set either, however this one is set to null(or remains null). Am I missing something?
The same lines are working in the BridgeHadler with no problem.
