How to access component properties from a Java Class(AEM 5.6.1)

Can I get some code for fetching component properties from a java class.

I'm  working on a component which requires some properties that the user sets during run time.

Initially, I was simply using a properties.get('employeename') to fetch this property from my component(JSP), but I'm trying collect this value from a java bean.

How to fetch this property 'employeename' (which is set during runtime on my component) within my Java code?

We can achieve this by using third party AEM frameworks like Slice,Bedrock etc.But I didn't want these frameworks.

Refer : http://code.citytechinc.com/bedrock/component-framework.html​

I would say from to use as much as you can the ValueMap-approach.

Page page = currentPage;

ValueMap props = page.getContentResource("componentName").adaptTo(ValueMap.class);

String title = props.get("jcr:title", "default value");

This is one of the way

Page page = currentPage;

Node node = page.getContentResource("componentName").adaptTo(Node.class);

String title = node.getProperties("jcr:title").getString();

and similarly fetch all any properties from the component

        A component  is only A node in the JCR. You use the JCR API to read node props using Java.
