Spring Boot Project for Dubbo (Dubbo is a high-performance, java based, open source RPC framework) https://github.com/alibaba/dubbo

Dubbo Spring Boot Project

Dubbo Spring Boot Project makes it easy to create Spring Boot application using Dubbo as RPC Framework. What's more , it aslo provides production-ready features (e.g.security, health checks, externalized configuration).

Dubbo |ˈdʌbəʊ| 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.

Getting Started

If you don't know about Dubbo , please take a few minutes to learn http://dubbo.io/ . 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);

}

Dubbo service(s) provider

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.

Dubbo service(s) consumer

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

Externalized Configuration

Externalized Configuration is a core feature of Spring Boot , Dubbo Spring Boot not only supports it definitely , but also inherits Dubbo's Externalized Configuration, thus it provides single and multiple Dubbo's *Config Bindings from PropertySources , and "dubbo." is a common prefix of property name.

If you'd like to learn more , please read Dubbo Externalized Configuration(Chinese).

Single Dubbo Config Bean Bindings

In most use scenarios , "Single Dubbo Config Bean Bindings" is enough , because a Dubbo application only requires single Bean of *Config (e.g ApplicationConfig). You add properties in application.properties to configure Dubbo's *Config Beans that you want , be like this :

dubbo.application.name = foo
dubbo.application.owner = bar
dubbo.registry.address = 10.20.153.10:9090

There are two Spring Beans will be initialized when Spring ApplicatonContext is ready, their Bean types are ApplicationConfig and RegistryConfig.

Getting Single Dubbo Config Bean

If application requires current ApplicationConfig Bean in somewhere , you can get it from Spring BeanFactory as those code :

BeanFactory beanFactory = .... 
ApplicationConfig applicationConfig = beanFactory.getBean(ApplicationConfig.class)

or inject it :

@Autowired
private ApplicationConfig application;

Identifying Single Dubbo Config Bean

If you'd like to identify this ApplicationConfig Bean , you could add "id" property:

dubbo.application.id = application-bean-id

Mapping Single Dubbo Config Bean

The whole Properties Mapping of "Single Dubbo Config Bean Bindings" lists below :

Dubbo *Config Type	The prefix of property name for Single Bindings
ProtocolConfig	dubbo.protocol
ApplicationConfig	dubbo.application
ModuleConfig	dubbo.module
RegistryConfig	dubbo.registry
MonitorConfig	dubbo.monitor
ProviderConfig	dubbo.provider
ConsumerConfig	dubbo.consumer

An example properties :

# Single Dubbo Config Bindings
## ApplicationConfig
dubbo.application.id = applicationBean
dubbo.application.name = dubbo-demo-application

## ModuleConfig
dubbo.module.id = moduleBean
dubbo.module.name = dubbo-demo-module

## RegistryConfig
dubbo.registry.address = zookeeper://192.168.99.100:32770

## ProtocolConfig
dubbo.protocol.name = dubbo
dubbo.protocol.port = 20880

## MonitorConfig
dubbo.monitor.address = zookeeper://127.0.0.1:32770

## ProviderConfig
dubbo.provider.host = 127.0.0.1

## ConsumerConfig
dubbo.consumer.client = netty

Multiple Dubbo Config Bean Bindings

In contrast , "Multiple Dubbo Config Bean Bindings" means Externalized Configuration will be used to configure multiple Dubbo *Config Beans.

Getting Multiple Dubbo Config Bean

The whole Properties Mapping of "Multiple Dubbo Config Bean Bindings" lists below :

Dubbo *Config Type	The prefix of property name for Multiple Bindings
ProtocolConfig	dubbo.protocols
ApplicationConfig	dubbo.applications
ModuleConfig	dubbo.modules
RegistryConfig	dubbo.registries
MonitorConfig	dubbo.monitors
ProviderConfig	dubbo.providers
ConsumerConfig	dubbo.consumers

Identifying Multiple Dubbo Config Bean

There is a different wa to identify Multiple Dubbo Config Bean , the configuration pattern is like this :

${config-property-prefix}.${config-bean-id}.${property-name} = some value , let's explain those placehoders :

• ${config-property-prefix} : The The prefix of property name for Multiple Bindings , e.g. dubbo.protocols, dubbo.applications and so on.
• ${config-bean-id} : The bean id of Dubbo's *Config
• ${property-name}: The property name of *Config

An example properties :

dubbo.applications.application1.name = dubbo-demo-application
dubbo.applications.application2.name = dubbo-demo-application2
dubbo.modules.module1.name = dubbo-demo-module
dubbo.registries.registry1.address = zookeeper://192.168.99.100:32770
dubbo.protocols.protocol1.name = dubbo
dubbo.protocols.protocol1.port = 20880
dubbo.monitors.monitor1.address = zookeeper://127.0.0.1:32770
dubbo.providers.provider1.host = 127.0.0.1
dubbo.consumers.consumer1.client = netty

Modules

There are some modules in Dubbo Spring Boot Project , let's take a look at below overview :

dubbo-spring-boot-parent

The main usage of dubbo-spring-boot-parent is providing dependencies management for other modules.

dubbo-spring-boot-autoconfigure

Since 2.5.7 , Dubbo totally supports Annotation-Driven , core Dubbo's components that are registered and initialized in Spring application context , including exterialized configuration features. However , those features need to trigger in manual configuration , e.g @DubboComponentScan , @EnableDubboConfig or @EnableDubbo.

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.

If you used advanced IDE tools , for instance Jetbrains IDEA Ultimate develops Dubbo Spring Boot application, it will popup the tips of Dubbo Configuration Bindings in application.properties :

• Case 1 - Single Bindings

  

• Case 2 - Mutiple Bindings

  

  ​

dubbo-spring-boot-actuator

dubbo-spring-boot-actuator provides production-ready features (e.g.security, health checks, externalized configuration).
