Hi,

Does anyone know/has implemented something that helps you to fetch the runmode in backend code. SlingSettingsService has been deprecated.

WCMMode doesn't work in this case as we need to check it on a editable template(structure), where wcmmode is disabled.

Thanks!

Hi

Till the time we have alternative of SlingSettingService you can set run mode config value with OSGI configuration and read this in you backend code.

Thanks

Your code should not reference any runmode (either directly or indirectly), instead it should get expressed via OSGI configuration. I wrote an article for it some time ago, which explains how you can/should do that: https://cqdump.joerghoh.de/2018/09/12/referencing-runmodes-in-java/

cheers,

@joerghoh, I did use OSGi configuration to implement the same and that worked as expected. My actual requirement was simple enough. I wanted to display some message on the component in edit mode. But edit mode is disabled in template structure. I never noticed something like this before and had an impression that any page having "editor.html" in URL is in edit mode. I would love to understand the reason behind why wcmmode is in disabled state in template structure. Do let me know if you know why is that so.
