Read config nodes inside a non service class

How to read config nodes inside a non service class.

I have a configuration created in felix console. I want to read that property in one of my helper class.

To read values of config, you need to get reference of ConfigurationAdmin which is only possible if your class is an OSGi component. If there is a helper class where you want to read such properties, you need to pass ConfigurationAdmin object to that method and then read the properties.

Something like:

String fetchConfigValue(ConfigurationAdmin cfgAdmin, String pid, String key){

....

}

We have an article that shows you how to read node values -- Scott's Digital Community: Reading AEM OSGi Configuration Values

Hi,

I agree with Scott!! You should look into the article mentioned

Do not use the ConfigAdmin directly, I would consider this an Antipattern. A service/component should only read its own properties, but not read the property of other services, these are typically implementation details. If you really need to know something about other services, extend their interface and provide the information via the public API of this service. Then the compiler can support you to write robust code.
