how to read OSGI configuration via JAVA

so I have the code below

I have a breakpoint in this line 27 and another one in line 29.

when debugging my code (eclipse user here), the program stops at the first breakpoint. And when I resume (F8), it never stops in the second breakpoint. I suppose something happened to it (fatal error perhaps) and my page loads completely as if nothing happened.

This is how I call the JAVA code:

<sly data-sly-use.protectedflag="${'com.mycompany.core.impl.view.tools.checker' @ path=currentPage.path}"/>

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Thanks

        try {
            Configuration conf = configAdmin.getConfiguration("org.apache.sling.engine.impl.auth.SlingAuthenticator");
            
            String path =  get("path", String.class); 
            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
            Dictionary<String, Object> props = conf.getProperties();
            protectedPage = false;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            protectedPage = false;
        }
    }
    
    public boolean getProtectedPage() {  
        return protectedPage;  
    }  
}
