import com.day.cq.wcm.webservicesupport.Configuration; import com.day.cq.wcm.webservicesupport.ConfigurationManager; @Component(immediate=true) public class Videos { private final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Videos.class); private Configuration configuration; @Reference private ConfigurationManager cfgMgr; public void connectToService() { configuration = cfgMgr.getConfiguration("mycustomservice"); } }

cfgMgr is null. I wonder why is a reference variable null anyway. Are there any other methods to get it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The problem doesn't have anything to do with this class. It has to do with how you are accessing this class or really the instance. You are creating a new instance of this class. Instead, you should use the instance created by DS.

You should not use getServiceReference() in a DS component except for very specific needs (which this is definitely not an example of).
