An Example of a Distributed Service with Java gRPC.
I tested it on macOS with JDK11, theoretically it is also fully available for Windows and Linux.
RPC-Client
- ClientApplication.java: Entry point of the client application
- pojo.ServerConnectionConfig.java: POJO class to hold server connection configuration
- rpc.RPCClient.java: Client implementation to communicate with the gRPC server
- rpc.RPCThread.java: Thread class for handling gRPC requests asynchronously
- resources/config.json: JSON configuration file containing server connection details
RPC-Core
- rpc.RPCHelloServiceGrpc.java: gRPC-generated service class for defining the Hello service
- rpc.RPCService.java: Custom implementation of the Hello service
- utils.PathUtils.java: Utility class for handling file paths
- resources/common.proto: Protocol Buffers file defining the service messages and methods
RPC-Server
- ServerApplication.java: Entry point of the server application
- rpc.RPCHelloImp.java: Implementation of the Hello service interface
- rpc.RPCServer.java: Server implementation to start the gRPC server
Run package.sh.
When you are in the development stage and modify *.proto, you can just use compile.sh.
Run start-server.sh first, then start-client.sh.
Since the protobuf-maven-plugin does not provide an arm version, if you are using macOS (Apple Silicon), please add the following content to your maven settings.xml file.
