Need to get values from System Configuration

NOTE: The following resolution requires customization and should only be implemented at the discretion of your team. Liferay Support will not be able to assist with designing or implementing customizations.

Issue

• How to fetch the elasticServerHosts values using ConfigurationProviderUtil from the System configuration interface with the below code (custom):
  

  import com.liferay.portal.configuration.module.configuration.ConfigurationProviderUtil;
  
  DidYouMeanConfiguration DidYouMeanConfiguration = null;
  
  try {
  
  DidYouMeanConfiguration = ConfigurationProviderUtil
  
  .getSystemConfiguration(DidYouMeanConfiguration.class);
  
  } catch (ConfigurationException e) {
  
  log.error(e);
  
  }
  
  String[] elasticServerHosts = DidYouMeanConfiguration.getElasticServerHosts();

• It returns the size of the string array 0 instead of the actual size.

Environment

• DXP 2023 Q4.4

Resolution

• Fetch the configuration by ConfigurableUtil like below:

  @Component(
  configurationPid = "com.custom.search.suggestion.conf.DidYouMeanConfiguration",
  service = TestComponent.class
  )
  public class TestComponent {
  
  @Activate
  @Modified
  protected void activate(Map<String, Object> properties) {
  _DidYouMeanConfiguration = ConfigurableUtil.createConfigurable(
  DidYouMeanConfiguration.class, properties);
  }
  
  private volatile DidYouMeanConfiguration
  _DidYouMeanConfiguration;
  
  }

• The sample code of the ConfigurableUtil method:
  • Reading-Configuration-Values-from-a-Component
  • ConfigurableUtil.java

Additional Information

• This requirement involves the implementation and development of code which mainly comes under the scope of the global services.
