Apache Dubbo (incubating) Project

Apache Dubbo (incubating) is a high-performance, Java based open source RPC framework. Please visit official site for quick start and documentations, as well as Wiki for news, FAQ, and release notes.

We are now collecting dubbo user info in order to help us to improve Dubbo better, pls. kindly help us by providing yours on issue#1012: Wanted: who's using dubbo, thanks :)

Architecture

Features

Transparent interface based RPC
Intelligent load balancing
Automatic service registration and discovery
High extensibility
Runtime traffic routing
Visualized service governance

Getting started

The following code snippet comes from Dubbo Samples. You may clone the sample project and step into dubbo-samples-api sub directory before read on.

# git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-dubbo-samples.git
# cd incubator-dubbo-samples/dubbo-samples-api

There's a README file under dubbo-samples-api directory. Read it and try this sample out by following the instructions.

Define service interfaces

package org.apache.dubbo.samples.api;

public interface GreetingService {
    String sayHello(String name);
}

See api/GreetingService.java on GitHub.

Implement service interface for the provider

package org.apache.dubbo.samples.provider;
 
import org.apache.dubbo.samples.api.GreetingService;
 
public class GreetingServiceImpl implements GreetingService {
    public String sayHello(String name) {
        return "Hello " + name;
    }
}

See provider/GreetingServiceImpl.java on GitHub.

Start service provider

package org.apache.dubbo.demo.provider;

import org.apache.dubbo.config.ApplicationConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.config.RegistryConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.config.ServiceConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.samples.api.GreetingService;

import java.io.IOException;
 
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        ServiceConfig<GreetingService> serviceConfig = new ServiceConfig<GreetingService>();
        serviceConfig.setApplication(new ApplicationConfig("first-dubbo-provider"));
        serviceConfig.setRegistry(new RegistryConfig("multicast://224.5.6.7:1234"));
        serviceConfig.setInterface(GreetingService.class);
        serviceConfig.setRef(new GreetingServiceImpl());
        serviceConfig.export();
        System.in.read();
    }
}

See provider/Application.java on GitHub.

Build and run the provider

# mvn clean package
# mvn -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.dubbo.demo.provider.Application exec:java

Call remote service in consumer

package org.apache.dubbo.demo.consumer;

import org.apache.dubbo.config.ApplicationConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.config.ReferenceConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.config.RegistryConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.samples.api.GreetingService;

public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ReferenceConfig<GreetingService> referenceConfig = new ReferenceConfig<GreetingService>();
        referenceConfig.setApplication(new ApplicationConfig("first-dubbo-consumer"));
        referenceConfig.setRegistry(new RegistryConfig("multicast://224.5.6.7:1234"));
        referenceConfig.setInterface(GreetingService.class);
        GreetingService greetingService = referenceConfig.get();
        System.out.println(greetingService.sayHello("world"));
    }
}

Build and run the consumer

# mvn clean package
# mvn -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.dubbo.demo.consumer.Application exec:java

The consumer will print out Hello world on the screen.

See consumer/Application.java on GitHub.
