Apache Dubbo(incubating) Spring Boot Project makes it easy to create Spring Boot application using Dubbo as RPC Framework. What's more, it aslo provides
- auto-configure features (e.g., annotation-driven, auto configuration, externalized configuration).
- production-ready features (e.g., security, health checks, externalized configuration).
Apache Dubbo(incubating) is a high-performance, java based RPC framework open-sourced by Alibaba. As in many RPC systems, dubbo is based around the idea of defining a service, specifying the methods that can be called remotely with their parameters and return types. On the server side, the server implements this interface and runs a dubbo server to handle client calls. On the client side, the client has a stub that provides the same methods as the server.
You can introduce the latest dubbo-spring-boot-starter
to your project by adding the following dependency to your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.alibaba.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>dubbo-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>0.2.0</version>
</dependency>
If your project failed to resolve the dependency, try to add the following repository:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>sonatype-nexus-snapshots</id>
<url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
For now, dubbo-spring-boot-starter
will separate two versions for Spring Boot 2.x and 1.x once release :
-
0.2.x
is a main stream release version for Spring Boot 2.x -
0.1.x
is a legacy version for maintaining Spring Boot 1.x
If you'd like to attempt to experience latest features, you also can build from source as follow:
- Maven install current project in your local repository.
Maven install =
mvn install
versions | Java | Spring Boot | Dubbo |
---|---|---|---|
0.2.0 |
1.8+ | 2.0.x |
2.6.2 + |
0.1.1 |
1.7+ | 1.5.x |
2.6.2 + |
If you don't know about Dubbo, please take a few minutes to learn http://dubbo.apache.org/. After that you could dive deep into dubbo user guide.
Usually, There are two usage scenarios for Dubbo applications, one is Dubbo service(s) provider, another is Dubbo service(s) consumer, thus let's get a quick start on them.
First of all, we suppose an interface as Dubbo RPC API that a service provider exports and a service client consumes:
public interface DemoService {
String sayHello(String name);
}
Service Provider implements DemoService
:
@Service(
version = "1.0.0",
application = "${dubbo.application.id}",
protocol = "${dubbo.protocol.id}",
registry = "${dubbo.registry.id}"
)
public class DefaultDemoService implements DemoService {
public String sayHello(String name) {
return "Hello, " + name + " (from Spring Boot)";
}
}
then, provides a bootstrap class:
@SpringBootApplication
public class DubboProviderDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DubboProviderDemo.class,args);
}
}
last, configures application.properties
:
# Spring boot application
spring.application.name = dubbo-provider-demo
server.port = 9090
management.port = 9091
# Base packages to scan Dubbo Components (e.g., @Service, @Reference)
dubbo.scan.basePackages = com.alibaba.boot.dubbo.demo.provider.service
# Dubbo Config properties
## ApplicationConfig Bean
dubbo.application.id = dubbo-provider-demo
dubbo.application.name = dubbo-provider-demo
## ProtocolConfig Bean
dubbo.protocol.id = dubbo
dubbo.protocol.name = dubbo
dubbo.protocol.port = 12345
## RegistryConfig Bean
dubbo.registry.id = my-registry
dubbo.registry.address = N/A
DefaultDemoService
's placeholders( ${dubbo.application.id}
, ${dubbo.protocol.id}
, ${dubbo.registry.id}
) sources from application.properties
.
More details, please refer to Dubbo Provider Sample.
Service consumer requires Spring Beans to reference DemoService
:
@RestController
public class DemoConsumerController {
@Reference(version = "1.0.0",
application = "${dubbo.application.id}",
url = "dubbo://localhost:12345")
private DemoService demoService;
@RequestMapping("/sayHello")
public String sayHello(@RequestParam String name) {
return demoService.sayHello(name);
}
}
then, also provide a bootstrap class:
@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = "com.alibaba.boot.dubbo.demo.consumer.controller")
public class DubboConsumerDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DubboConsumerDemo.class,args);
}
}
last, configures application.properties
:
# Spring boot application
spring.application.name = dubbo-consumer-demo
server.port = 8080
management.port = 8081
# Dubbo Config properties
## ApplicationConfig Bean
dubbo.application.id = dubbo-consumer-demo
dubbo.application.name = dubbo-consumer-demo
## ProtocolConfig Bean
dubbo.protocol.id = dubbo
dubbo.protocol.name = dubbo
dubbo.protocol.port = 12345
If DubboProviderDemo
works well, please mark sure Dubbo service(s) is active.
More details, please refer to Dubbo Consumer Sample
Having trouble with Dubbo Spring Boot? We’d like to help!
- If you are upgrading, read the release notes for upgrade instructions and "new and noteworthy" features.
- Ask a question - You can join ours google groups, or subscribe Dubbo User Mailling List.

If you want to try out thr latest features of Dubbo Spring Boot, it can be easily built with the maven wrapper. Your JDK is 1.7 or above.
$ ./mvnw clean install
There are some modules in Dubbo Spring Boot Project, let's take a look at below overview:
The main usage of dubbo-spring-boot-parent
is providing dependencies management for other modules.
dubbo-spring-boot-autoconfigure
uses Spring Boot's @EnableAutoConfiguration
which helps core Dubbo's components to be auto-configured by DubboAutoConfiguration
. It reduces code, eliminates XML configuration.
dubbo-spring-boot-actuator
provides production-ready features (e.g., health checks, endpoints, and externalized configuration).
dubbo-spring-boot-starter
is a standard Spring Boot Starter, which contains dubbo-spring-boot-autoconfigure and dubbo-spring-boot-actuator. It will be imported into your application directly.
The samples project of Dubbo Spring Boot that includes two parts:
Dubbo Service will be exported on localhost with port 12345
.
Dubbo Service will be consumed at Spring WebMVC Controller
.
