How to read property from OSGI configuration in AEM 6.1 in model class which extends WCMUse class

Question

I am extending my model class to WCMUse class to write my business logic. I have osgi configuration which has couple of properties. I want to read one of the property in my model class. I am not sure how to get the handle of osgi configuration in WCMUse class. Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

Adding the answer for future references.

You can use the #getSlingScriptHelper() method of the WCMUse class to get an handle of the SlingScriptHelper . This is the same sling object that is available through inclusion of global.jsp in traditional JSP scripts.

You can then call #getService() method of the SlingScriptHelper to look up the desired OSGi Service.

The following code snippet can be used in the model to get the service configuration

getSlingScriptHelper().getService(<<Configuration Service>>.class)
