How to get value of the field defined in Configuration Table while building an extension.

I can see option only for getDefaultValue() not getValue(). I followed as:

     getConfigurationTable("TableName").getField("fieldName").getDefaultValue().

The option for getValue() was not there, hence changes in configuration is not reflectiong after importing this extension in Thingworx Platform.

Hi Vladi,

The below command worked for me -

     getStringConfigurationSetting("TableName", "PropertyName");

Hi Nitin,

Could you try getConfigurationData().getValue("TableName", "PropName") ?

Best regards,

Vladi

Can you please provide code example?

String myProp = getStringConfigurationSetting("TableName", "PropertyName");

Is it just like this?

Actually found answer in apendix A of thingworx_extension_development_user_guide.pdf.

@ThingworxConfigurationTableDefinitions(tables = {

@ThingworxConfigurationTableDefinition(name="ConfigTableExample1", description="Example 1 config table", isMultiRow=false, dataShape = @ThingworxDataShapeDefinition( fields = { @ThingworxFieldDefinition(name="field1",description="",baseType="STRING"), @ThingworxFieldDefinition(name="field2",description="",baseType="NUMBER"), @ThingworxFieldDefinition(name="field3",description="",baseType="BOOLEAN"), @ThingworxFieldDefinition(name="field4",description="",baseType="USERNAME")})),

@ThingworxConfigurationTableDefinition(name="ConfigTableExample2", description="Example 2 config table", isMultiRow=true, dataShape = @ThingworxDataShapeDefinition( fields = { @ThingworxFieldDefinition(name="columnA",description="",baseType="STRING"), @ThingworxFieldDefinition(name="columnB",description="",baseType="NUMBER"), @ThingworxFieldDefinition(name="columnC",description="",baseType="BOOLEAN"), @ThingworxFieldDefinition(name="columnD",description="",baseType="USERNAME") })) })

String field1Value = (String)getConfigurationSetting("ConfigTableExample1", "field1");

Double field2Value = (Double)getConfigurationSetting("ConfigTableExample1", "field2");

Boolean field3Value = (Boolean)getConfigurationSetting("ConfigTableExample1", "field3");

String field4Value = (String)getConfigurationSetting("ConfigTableExample1", "field4");

It there any way to handle configuration change? For example regenerate internal values base on that config?

Maybe some event?

Hi Jan,

There's no such an event regarding the configuration. Considering the typical usage, you always read the configuration parameters when you start the Thing.

If you need such a functionality you can store in internal properties (maybe an infotable holding all previous parameters) the old values then compare the new values to the old ones?

    I wanted to put internal logic to custom class:

    MyCustomLogic cl = new MyCustomLocic(config1, config2);

    Then in services:

         cl.method1();

    I dont want to do:

         cl.setConfig(config1, config2);

    on every service call...

    Any solution to this?
