Configuration Management

Get configuration

Description

Get configuration from Nacos when a service starts.

public String getConfig(String dataId, String group, long timeoutMs) throws NacosException

Request parameters

Name	Type	Description
dataId	string	Configuration ID. Use a naming rule similar to package.class (for example, com.taobao.tc.refund.log.level) to ensure global uniqueness. It is recommended to indicate business meaning of the configuration in the "class" section. Use lower case for all characters. Use alphabetical letters and these four special characters (".", ":", "-", "_") only. Up to 256 characters are allowed.
group	string	Configuration group. To ensure uniqueness, format such as product name: module name (for example, Nacos:Test) is preferred. Use alphabetical letters and these four special characters (".", ":", "-", "_") only. Up to 128 characters are allowed.
timeout	long	Length of configuration read time-out (in ms). Recommended value: 3000.

Return values

Type	Description
string	configuration value

Request example

try {
    // Initialize the configuration service, and the console automatically obtains the following parameters through the sample code.
    String serverAddr = "{serverAddr}";
    String dataId = "{dataId}";
    String group = "{group}";
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.put("serverAddr", serverAddr);
    ConfigService configService = NacosFactory.createConfigService(properties);
    // Actively get the configuration.
    String content = configService.getConfig(dataId, group, 5000);
    System.out.println(content);
} catch (NacosException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Exception specification

A ConfigException is thrown in case of a configuration read time-out or a network error.

Listen configuration

Description

Use dynamic configuration listening API to enable Nacos to send configuration change notifications.

public void addListener(String dataId, ConfigChangeListenerAdapter listener)

Request parameters

Name	Type	Description
dataId	string	Configuration ID. Use a naming rule similar to package.class (for example, com.taobao.tc.refund.log.level) to ensure global uniqueness. It is recommended to indicate business meaning of the configuration in the "class" section. Use lower case for all characters. Use alphabetical letters and these four special characters (".", ":", "-", "_") only. Up to 256 characters are allowed.
group	string	Configuration group. To ensure uniqueness, format such as product name: module name (for example, Nacos:Test) is preferred. Use alphabetical letters and these four special characters (".", ":", "-", "_") only. Up to 128 characters are allowed.
listener	Config Change Listener	Listener. Configuration changes go into the callback function of the listener.

Return values

Type	Description
string	Configuration value. This value is returned through the callback function during initialization or configuration modification.

Request example

// Initialize the configuration service, and the console automatically obtains the following parameters through the sample code.
String serverAddr = "{serverAddr}";
String dataId = "{dataId}";
String group = "{group}";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("serverAddr", serverAddr);
ConfigService configService = NacosFactory.createConfigService(properties);
String content = configService.getConfig(dataId, group, 5000);
System.out.println(content);
configService.addListener(dataId, group, new Listener() {
    @Override
    public void receiveConfigInfo(String configInfo) {
        System.out.println("receive1:" + configInfo);
    }
    @Override
    public Executor getExecutor() {
        return null;
    }
});

// Keep the main thread alive throughout the test, because the configuration subscription runs in a daemon thread, which exits once the main thread exits. The following code is not required in a real environment.
while (true) {
    try {
        Thread.sleep(1000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
