Dubbo Proxy

This document is intended to help the Dubbo service access the Apache ShenYu gateway. The Apache ShenYu gateway uses the Dubbo plugin to handle dubbo service.

Support Alibaba Dubbo(< 2.7.x) and Apache Dubbo (>=2.7.x).

Before the connection, start shenyu-admin correctly, start Dubbo plugin, and add related dependencies on the gateway and Dubbo application client. Refer to the previous Quick start with Dubbo .

For details about client access configuration, see Application Client Access Config .

For details about data synchronization configurations, see Data Synchronization Config .

Add dubbo plugin in gateway#

Add these dependencies in gateway's pom.xml.

Alibaba dubbo user, configure the dubbo version and registry center with yours.

      Add these in your client project's application.yml:

      dubbo:  registry:    address: dubbo register address    port: dubbo service port

Dubbo configuration#

  • Enable dubbo option in shenyu-admin.
  • Configure your registry address in dubbo.
{"register":"zookeeper://localhost:2181"}   or {"register":"nacos://localhost:8848"}

Configure the interface with gateway#

  • you can add the annotation @ShenyuDubboClient to your dubbo service implementation class, so that the interface method will be configured with gateway.

  • Start your provider. After successful startup, go to PluginList -> rpc Proxy -> dubbo in the backend management system. You will see auto-registered selectors and rules information.

Dubbo user request and parameter explanation.#

  • Communicate with dubbo service through Http transport protocol.
  • Apache ShenYu gateway need a route prefix which configured when accessing the project.
# for example: you have an order service and it has a interface, registry address: /order/test/save
# now we can communicate with gateway through POST request http://localhost:9195/order/test/save
# localhost:9195 is gateway's ip port,default port is 9195 ,/order is the contextPath you set through gateway.
  • parameter deliver:
    • communicate with gateway through body or json of http post request.
    • more parameter types, please refer to the interface definition in shenyu-examples-dubbo and parameter passing method.
  • Single java bean parameter type (default).
  • Multi-parameter type support, add this config value in gateway's yaml file:
shenyu:  dubbo:    parameter: multi
  • Support for customized multi-parameter type
  • Create a new implementation class MyDubboParamResolveService in your gateway project of org.apache.shenyu.web.dubbo.DubboParamResolveService.
public interface DubboParamResolveService {
   /**    * Build parameter pair.    * this is Resolve http body to get dubbo param.    *    * @param body           the body    * @param parameterTypes the parameter types    * @return the pair    */   Pair<String[], Object[]> buildParameter(String body, String parameterTypes);}
  • body is the json string in http request.
  • parameterTypes: the list of method parameter types that are matched,split with ,.
  • in Pair,left is parmeter type,right is parameter value, it's the standard of dubbo generalization calls.
  • Inject your class into Spring bean, cover the default implementation.
@Beanpublic DubboParamResolveService myDubboParamResolveService() {      return new MyDubboParamResolveService();}

Service governance#

  • Tag route

    • Add Dubbo_Tag_Route when send request, the current request will be routed to the provider of the specified tag, which is only valid for the current request.
  • Explicit Target

    • Set the url property in the annotation @ShenyuDubboClient.
    • Update the configuration in Admin.
    • It's valid for all request.
  • Param valid and ShenyuException

    • Set validation="shenyuValidation".

    • When ShenyuException is thrown in the interface, exception information will be returned. It should be noted that ShenyuException is thrown explicitly.

      @Service(validation = "shenyuValidation")public class TestServiceImpl implements TestService {
              @Override        @ShenyuDubboClient(path = "/test", desc = "test method")        public String test(@Valid HelloServiceRequest name) throws ShenyuException {            if (true){                throw new ShenyuException("Param binding error.");            }            return "Hello " + name.getName();        }}
    • Request param

          public class HelloServiceRequest implements Serializable {
              private static final long serialVersionUID = -5968745817846710197L;
              @NotEmpty(message = "name cannot be empty")        private String name;
              @NotNull(message = "age cannot be null")        private Integer age;
              public String getName() {            return name;        }
              public void setName(String name) {            this.name = name;        }
              public Integer getAge() {            return age;        }
              public void setAge(Integer age) {            this.age = age;        }    }
    • Send request

      {    "name": ""}
    • Response

      {    "code": 500,    "message": "Internal Server Error",    "data": "name cannot be empty,age cannot be null"}
    • Error message

      {    "code": 500,    "message": "Internal Server Error",    "data": "Param binding error."}

Http --> Gateway --> Dubbo Provider#

It basically switches from HTTP request to Dubbo protocol, then invoke Dubbo service and return to the result. Two things need to notice after intgeration with gateway, one is the added annoation @ShenyuDubboClient, another is a path used to speicify the request path. And you added a config value of contextPath.

If you have a function like this, the config value in contextPath is /dubbo

    @Override    @ShenyuDubboClient(path = "/insert", desc = "insert data")    public DubboTest insert(final DubboTest dubboTest) {        return dubboTest;    }

So our request path is: http://localhost:9195/dubbo/insert, localhost:9195 is the gateway's domain name,if you changed before,so does with yours here..

DubboTest is a java bean object,has 2 parameters, id and name, so we can transfer the value's json type through request body.

{"id":"1234","name":"XIAO5y"}

If your interface has no parameter, then the value is:

{}

If the interface has multiple parameters, refer to the multi-parameter type support described above.
