Netty在Dubbo中的使用过程源码分析

最近项目中使用了netty服务，空余时间差了下dubbo中是如何使用netty做底层服务的，找了相关资料记录一下：

众所周知，国内知名框架 Dubbo 底层使用的是 Netty 作为网络通信，那么内部到底是如何使用的呢？

1. dubbo 的 Consumer 消费者如何使用 Netty

--demo使用的是dubbo源码中的dubbo-demo

public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Prevent to get IPV6 address,this way only work in debug mode
        //But you can pass use -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true,then it work well whether in debug mode or not
        System.setProperty("java.net.preferIPv4Stack", "true");
        ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[]{"META-INF/spring/dubbo-demo-consumer.xml"});
        context.start();
        DemoService demoService = (DemoService) context.getBean("demoService"); // get remote service proxy
        while (true) {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
                String hello = demoService.sayHello("world"); // call remote method
                System.out.println(hello); // get result
            } catch (Throwable throwable) {
                throwable.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

 

       demo中发现在消费者调用生产者的时候并没有涉及到关于除spring外的内容 但是此处使用了spring的bean注入，所以玄机应该就在spring的配置文件中->进入dubbo-demo-consumer配置文件中代码如下：

 

<beans xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:dubbo="http://code.alibabatech.com/schema/dubbo"
       xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
       http://code.alibabatech.com/schema/dubbo http://code.alibabatech.com/schema/dubbo/dubbo.xsd">
    <!-- consumer's application name, used for tracing dependency relationship (not a matching criterion),
    don't set it same as provider -->
    <dubbo:monitor protocol="registry" />
    <dubbo:application name="demo-consumer"/>
    <!-- use multicast registry center to discover service -->
    <dubbo:registry address="multicast://224.5.6.7:1234"/>
    <!-- generate proxy for the remote service, then demoService can be used in the same way as the
    local regular interface -->
    <dubbo:reference id="demoService" check="false" interface="com.alibaba.dubbo.demo.DemoService"/>
</beans>

 

 此处看到 在声明bean的时候 dubbo使用了新的标签reference标签。玄机应该就在reference标签中 进入dubbo标签命名文件

       在标签文件的同目录下有着dubbo给dubbo标签设置的标签处理器DubboNamespaceHandler代码如下：

public class DubboNamespaceHandler extends NamespaceHandlerSupport {
    static {
        Version.checkDuplicate(DubboNamespaceHandler.class);
    }
    public void init() {
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("application", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(ApplicationConfig.class, true));
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("module", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(ModuleConfig.class, true));
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("registry", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(RegistryConfig.class, true));
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("monitor", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(MonitorConfig.class, true));
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("provider", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(ProviderConfig.class, true));
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("consumer", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(ConsumerConfig.class, true));
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("protocol", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(ProtocolConfig.class, true));
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("service", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(ServiceBean.class, true));
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("reference", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(ReferenceBean.class, false));
        registerBeanDefinitionParser("annotation", new DubboBeanDefinitionParser(AnnotationBean.class, true));
    }
}

 

       我们使用的是reference标签 故进入reference标签对应的处理器ReferenceBean中代码如下：

/**
 *  ReferenceBean继承了Spring中的ApplicationContextAware，InitializingBean两个接口
 *  InitializingBean--在初始化bean的时候都会执行afterPropertiesSet方法
 *  ApplicationContextAware--在创建Bean之后会执行setApplicationContext方法
 */
public class ReferenceBean<T> extends ReferenceConfig<T> implements FactoryBean, ApplicationContextAware, InitializingBean, DisposableBean {
  ...
}

 

       因此类继承了Spring中的InitializingBean接口 故在初始化Bean的时候会调用afterPropertiesSet方法 代码如下：

 @SuppressWarnings({"unchecked"})
    public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
        ...
        //之上内容都为Dubbo初始化内容 感兴趣的可以自己看，和本文无关 略过 
        Boolean b = isInit();
        if (b == null && getConsumer() != null) {
            b = getConsumer().isInit();
        }
        if (b != null && b.booleanValue()) {
            getObject();
        }
    }

public Object getObject() throws Exception {
        return get();
    }

public synchronized T get() {
        if (destroyed) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Already destroyed!");
        }
        if (ref == null) {
            init();
        }
        return ref;
    }

private void init() {
        //略过赋值代码        
        ...
        //attributes are stored by system context.
        StaticContext.getSystemContext().putAll(attributes);
        //在get方法中最终返回的是ref 故ref应该是init方法中的重点 而此处发现ref为一个动态代理，
        //再想起dubbo调用接口的时候并未进行别的操作 
        //故dubbo的初始化操作应该重点就在生成一个动态代理中
        ref = createProxy(map);
        ConsumerModel consumerModel = new ConsumerModel(getUniqueServiceName(), this, ref, interfaceClass.getMethods());
        ApplicationModel.initConsumerModel(getUniqueServiceName(), consumerModel);
    }

private T createProxy(Map<String, String> map) {
        //再度略过默认值赋值代码       
        ...
        if (urls.size() == 1) {
                //动态代理生成时使用的参数
                invoker = refprotocol.refer(interfaceClass, urls.get(0));
            } else {
                List<Invoker<?>> invokers = new ArrayList<Invoker<?>>();
                URL registryURL = null;
                for (URL url : urls) {
                    invokers.add(refprotocol.refer(interfaceClass, url));
                    if (Constants.REGISTRY_PROTOCOL.equals(url.getProtocol())) {
                        registryURL = url; // use last registry url
                    }
                }
                if (registryURL != null) { // registry url is available
                    // use AvailableCluster only when register's cluster is available
                    URL u = registryURL.addParameter(Constants.CLUSTER_KEY, AvailableCluster.NAME);
                    invoker = cluster.join(new StaticDirectory(u, invokers));
                } else { // not a registry url
                    invoker = cluster.join(new StaticDirectory(invokers));
                }
            }
        }

        Boolean c = check;
        if (c == null && consumer != null) {
            c = consumer.isCheck();
        }
        if (c == null) {
            c = true; // default true
        }
        if (c && !invoker.isAvailable()) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Failed to check the status of the service " + interfaceName + ". No provider available for the service " + (group == null ? "" : group + "/") + interfaceName + (version == null ? "" : ":" + version) + " from the url " + invoker.getUrl() + " to the consumer " + NetUtils.getLocalHost() + " use dubbo version " + Version.getVersion());
        }
        if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
            logger.info("Refer dubbo service " + interfaceClass.getName() + " from url " + invoker.getUrl());
        }
        // 此处使用动态代理工厂生成了一个动态代理 进入动态代理的生成过程中
        return (T) proxyFactory.getProxy(invoker);
    }

 

在get方法中最终返回的是ref
故ref应该是init方法中的重点 而此处发现ref为一个动态代理，
再想起dubbo调用接口的时候并未进行别的操作 故dubbo的消费者初始化的重点应该为创建一个动态代理 而对netty的使用也应该在动态代理的初始化中
而后在createProxy方法中在调用代理工厂生成代理的时候使用的invoker参数是使用refprotocol.refer(interfaceClass, urls.get(0));初始化的 故进入DubboProtocol的refer方法中 代码如下

public <T> Invoker<T> refer(Class<T> serviceType, URL url) throws RpcException {
        optimizeSerialization(url);
        // 先看一下getClients
        DubboInvoker<T> invoker = new DubboInvoker<T>(serviceType, url, getClients(url), invokers);
        invokers.add(invoker);
        return invoker;
    }

private ExchangeClient[] getClients(URL url) {
        // whether to share connection
        boolean service_share_connect = false;
        int connections = url.getParameter(Constants.CONNECTIONS_KEY, 0);
        // if not configured, connection is shared, otherwise, one connection for one service
        if (connections == 0) {
            service_share_connect = true;
            connections = 1;
        }

        ExchangeClient[] clients = new ExchangeClient[connections];
        for (int i = 0; i < clients.length; i++) {
            if (service_share_connect) {
                clients[i] = getSharedClient(url);
            } else {
                clients[i] = initClient(url);
            }
        }
        return clients;
    }

/**
     * 这个initClient就是创建netty client
     */
    private ExchangeClient initClient(URL url) {

        // client type setting.
        String str = url.getParameter(Constants.CLIENT_KEY, url.getParameter(Constants.SERVER_KEY, Constants.DEFAULT_REMOTING_CLIENT));

        String version = url.getParameter(Constants.DUBBO_VERSION_KEY);
        boolean compatible = (version != null && version.startsWith("1.0."));
        url = url.addParameter(Constants.CODEC_KEY, DubboCodec.NAME);
        // enable heartbeat by default
        url = url.addParameterIfAbsent(Constants.HEARTBEAT_KEY, String.valueOf(Constants.DEFAULT_HEARTBEAT));

        // BIO is not allowed since it has severe performance issue.
        if (str != null && str.length() > 0 && !ExtensionLoader.getExtensionLoader(Transporter.class).hasExtension(str)) {
            throw new RpcException("Unsupported client type: " + str + "," +
                    " supported client type is " + StringUtils.join(ExtensionLoader.getExtensionLoader(Transporter.class).getSupportedExtensions(), " "));
        }

        ExchangeClient client;
        try {
            // connection should be lazy
            if (url.getParameter(Constants.LAZY_CONNECT_KEY, false)) {
                client = new LazyConnectExchangeClient(url, requestHandler);
            } else {
                client = Exchangers.connect(url, requestHandler);
            }
        } catch (RemotingException e) {
            throw new RpcException("Fail to create remoting client for service(" + url + "): " + e.getMessage(), e);
        }
        return client;
    }

 

最终我们调用到了initClient方法，initClient方法创建的就是netty的客户端client 接下来我们进入connect方法来看看客户端和服务端是如何建立连接的 代码如下：

public static ExchangeClient connect(URL url, ExchangeHandler handler) throws RemotingException {
        if (url == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("url == null");
        }
        if (handler == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("handler == null");
        }
        url = url.addParameterIfAbsent(Constants.CODEC_KEY, "exchange");
        return getExchanger(url).connect(url, handler);
    }

public ExchangeClient connect(URL url, ExchangeHandler handler) throws RemotingException {
        return new HeaderExchangeClient(Transporters.connect(url, new DecodeHandler(new HeaderExchangeHandler(handler))), true);
    }

public static Client connect(URL url, ChannelHandler... handlers) throws RemotingException {
        if (url == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("url == null");
        }
        ChannelHandler handler;
        if (handlers == null || handlers.length == 0) {
            handler = new ChannelHandlerAdapter();
        } else if (handlers.length == 1) {
            handler = handlers[0];
        } else {
            handler = new ChannelHandlerDispatcher(handlers);
        }
        return getTransporter().connect(url, handler);
    }

public Client connect(URL url, ChannelHandler listener) throws RemotingException {
        return new NettyClient(url, listener);
    }

 

通过connect方法的层层调用 最终我们进入了NettyClient的构造方法中，NettyClient继承了AbstractClient方法 而Netty的构造方法也是调用了AbstractClient的构造方法 代码如下：

public NettyClient(final URL url, final ChannelHandler handler) throws RemotingException {
        super(url, wrapChannelHandler(url, handler));
    }

 public AbstractClient(URL url, ChannelHandler handler) throws RemotingException {
        super(url, handler);

        send_reconnect = url.getParameter(Constants.SEND_RECONNECT_KEY, false);

        shutdown_timeout = url.getParameter(Constants.SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_KEY, Constants.DEFAULT_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT);

        // The default reconnection interval is 2s, 1800 means warning interval is 1 hour.
        reconnect_warning_period = url.getParameter("reconnect.waring.period", 1800);

        try {
            doOpen();
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            close();
            throw new RemotingException(url.toInetSocketAddress(), null,
                    "Failed to start " + getClass().getSimpleName() + " " + NetUtils.getLocalAddress()
                            + " connect to the server " + getRemoteAddress() + ", cause: " + t.getMessage(), t);
        }
        try {
            // connect.
            connect();
            if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
                logger.info("Start " + getClass().getSimpleName() + " " + NetUtils.getLocalAddress() + " connect to the server " + getRemoteAddress());
            }
        } catch (RemotingException t) {
            if (url.getParameter(Constants.CHECK_KEY, true)) {
                close();
                throw t;
            } else {
                logger.warn("Failed to start " + getClass().getSimpleName() + " " + NetUtils.getLocalAddress()
                        + " connect to the server " + getRemoteAddress() + " (check == false, ignore and retry later!), cause: " + t.getMessage(), t);
            }
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            close();
            throw new RemotingException(url.toInetSocketAddress(), null,
                    "Failed to start " + getClass().getSimpleName() + " " + NetUtils.getLocalAddress()
                            + " connect to the server " + getRemoteAddress() + ", cause: " + t.getMessage(), t);
        }

        executor = (ExecutorService) ExtensionLoader.getExtensionLoader(DataStore.class)
                .getDefaultExtension().get(Constants.CONSUMER_SIDE, Integer.toString(url.getPort()));
        ExtensionLoader.getExtensionLoader(DataStore.class)
                .getDefaultExtension().remove(Constants.CONSUMER_SIDE, Integer.toString(url.getPort()));
    }

 

此方法中最重要的就是doOpen()方法与connect()方法
----doOpen()方法用来创建 Netty 的 bootstrap 代码如下

@Override
    protected void doOpen() throws Throwable {
        NettyHelper.setNettyLoggerFactory();
        final NettyClientHandler nettyClientHandler = new NettyClientHandler(getUrl(), this);
        bootstrap = new Bootstrap();
        bootstrap.group(nioEventLoopGroup)
                .option(ChannelOption.SO_KEEPALIVE, true)
                .option(ChannelOption.TCP_NODELAY, true)
                .option(ChannelOption.ALLOCATOR, PooledByteBufAllocator.DEFAULT)
                //.option(ChannelOption.CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS, getTimeout())
                .channel(NioSocketChannel.class);

        if (getTimeout() < 3000) {
            bootstrap.option(ChannelOption.CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS, 3000);
        } else {
            bootstrap.option(ChannelOption.CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS, getTimeout());
        }

        bootstrap.handler(new ChannelInitializer() {

            protected void initChannel(Channel ch) throws Exception {
                NettyCodecAdapter adapter = new NettyCodecAdapter(getCodec(), getUrl(), NettyClient.this);
                ch.pipeline()//.addLast("logging",new LoggingHandler(LogLevel.INFO))//for debug
                        .addLast("decoder", adapter.getDecoder())
                        .addLast("encoder", adapter.getEncoder())
                        .addLast("handler", nettyClientHandler);
            }
        });
    }

 

这里是不是已经很熟悉了
Netty的客户端创建 内置了bootstrap的属性与所需handler
接下来是connect方法
connect方法用来连接提供者 代码如下：

protected void connect() throws RemotingException {

        connectLock.lock();
        try {
            if (isConnected()) {
                return;
            }
            initConnectStatusCheckCommand();
//执行连接
            doConnect();
            if (!isConnected()) {
                throw new RemotingException(this, "Failed connect to server " + getRemoteAddress() + " from " + getClass().getSimpleName() + " "
                        + NetUtils.getLocalHost() + " using dubbo version " + Version.getVersion()
                        + ", cause: Connect wait timeout: " + getTimeout() + "ms.");
            } else {
                if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
                    logger.info("Successed connect to server " + getRemoteAddress() + " from " + getClass().getSimpleName() + " "
                            + NetUtils.getLocalHost() + " using dubbo version " + Version.getVersion()
                            + ", channel is " + this.getChannel());
                }
            }
            reconnect_count.set(0);
            reconnect_error_log_flag.set(false);
        } catch (RemotingException e) {
            throw e;
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            throw new RemotingException(this, "Failed connect to server " + getRemoteAddress() + " from " + getClass().getSimpleName() + " "
                    + NetUtils.getLocalHost() + " using dubbo version " + Version.getVersion()
                    + ", cause: " + e.getMessage(), e);
        } finally {
            connectLock.unlock();
        }
    }

protected void doConnect() throws Throwable {
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        //调用bootstrap的connect方法
        ChannelFuture future = bootstrap.connect(getConnectAddress());
        try {
            boolean ret = future.awaitUninterruptibly(getConnectTimeout(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

            if (ret && future.isSuccess()) {
                Channel newChannel = future.getChannel();
                //注册写事件 准备开始向提供者传递数据
                newChannel.setInterestOps(Channel.OP_READ_WRITE);
                try {
                    // Close old channel
                    Channel oldChannel = NettyClient.this.channel; // copy reference
                    if (oldChannel != null) {
                        try {
                            if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
                                logger.info("Close old netty channel " + oldChannel + " on create new netty channel " + newChannel);
                            }
                            oldChannel.close();
                        } finally {
                            NettyChannel.removeChannelIfDisconnected(oldChannel);
                        }
                    }
                } finally {
                    if (NettyClient.this.isClosed()) {
                        try {
                            if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
                                logger.info("Close new netty channel " + newChannel + ", because the client closed.");
                            }
                            newChannel.close();
                        } finally {
                            NettyClient.this.channel = null;
                            NettyChannel.removeChannelIfDisconnected(newChannel);
                        }
                    } else {
                        NettyClient.this.channel = newChannel;
                    }
                }
            } else if (future.getCause() != null) {
                throw new RemotingException(this, "client(url: " + getUrl() + ") failed to connect to server "
                        + getRemoteAddress() + ", error message is:" + future.getCause().getMessage(), future.getCause());
            } else {
                throw new RemotingException(this, "client(url: " + getUrl() + ") failed to connect to server "
                        + getRemoteAddress() + " client-side timeout "
                        + getConnectTimeout() + "ms (elapsed: " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start) + "ms) from netty client "
                        + NetUtils.getLocalHost() + " using dubbo version " + Version.getVersion());
            }
        } finally {
            if (!isConnected()) {
                future.cancel();
            }
        }
    }

 

又是一个熟悉的Netty连接操作
调用了 bootstrap 的 connect 方法。
当连接成功后，注册写事件，准备开始向提供者传递数据。
至此netty客户端创建成功 一个消费者对应一个netty客户端

既然已经初始化结束了 初始化结束了 下面我们看看各种Netty事件
熟悉Netty的都知道 Netty的方法都在Handler中，而上述初始化时 在doOpen方法中除了编解码 还内置了一个NettyClientHandler

@Sharable
public class NettyHandler extends SimpleChannelHandler {

    private final Map<String, Channel> channels = new ConcurrentHashMap<String, Channel>(); // <ip:port, channel>

    private final URL url;

//传递到了这个ChannelHandler
    private final ChannelHandler handler;

    public NettyHandler(URL url, ChannelHandler handler) {
        if (url == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("url == null");
        }
        if (handler == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("handler == null");
        }
        this.url = url;
        this.handler = handler;
    }

    public Map<String, Channel> getChannels() {
        return channels;
    }

    @Override
    public void channelConnected(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ChannelStateEvent e) throws Exception {
        NettyChannel channel = NettyChannel.getOrAddChannel(ctx.getChannel(), url, handler);
        try {
            if (channel != null) {
                channels.put(NetUtils.toAddressString((InetSocketAddress) ctx.getChannel().getRemoteAddress()), channel);
            }
            handler.connected(channel);
        } finally {
            NettyChannel.removeChannelIfDisconnected(ctx.getChannel());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void channelDisconnected(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ChannelStateEvent e) throws Exception {
        NettyChannel channel = NettyChannel.getOrAddChannel(ctx.getChannel(), url, handler);
        try {
            channels.remove(NetUtils.toAddressString((InetSocketAddress) ctx.getChannel().getRemoteAddress()));
            handler.disconnected(channel);
        } finally {
            NettyChannel.removeChannelIfDisconnected(ctx.getChannel());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void messageReceived(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, MessageEvent e) throws Exception {
        NettyChannel channel = NettyChannel.getOrAddChannel(ctx.getChannel(), url, handler);
        try {
            handler.received(channel, e.getMessage());
        } finally {
            NettyChannel.removeChannelIfDisconnected(ctx.getChannel());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void writeRequested(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, MessageEvent e) throws Exception {
        super.writeRequested(ctx, e);
        NettyChannel channel = NettyChannel.getOrAddChannel(ctx.getChannel(), url, handler);
        try {
            handler.sent(channel, e.getMessage());
        } finally {
            NettyChannel.removeChannelIfDisconnected(ctx.getChannel());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void exceptionCaught(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ExceptionEvent e) throws Exception {
        NettyChannel channel = NettyChannel.getOrAddChannel(ctx.getChannel(), url, handler);
        try {
            handler.caught(channel, e.getCause());
        } finally {
            NettyChannel.removeChannelIfDisconnected(ctx.getChannel());
        }
    }
}

 

此Handler实现了SimpleChannelHandler方法，这个方法是Netty中的一个通道处理器 使得Netty在做各种动作（连接，断开，发送，接收）时可以调用对应的逻辑，而在此Handler中 NettyHandler将所有操作都传递给了ChannelHandler 而此channelHanler是传入的参数赋值的 我们一层一层往上推 发现这个参数是在DubboProtoclo中初始化并且传入的 代码如下

private ExchangeHandler requestHandler = new ExchangeHandlerAdapter() {

        public Object reply(ExchangeChannel channel, Object message) throws RemotingException {
            if (message instanceof Invocation) {
                Invocation inv = (Invocation) message;
                Invoker<?> invoker = getInvoker(channel, inv);
                // need to consider backward-compatibility if it's a callback
                if (Boolean.TRUE.toString().equals(inv.getAttachments().get(IS_CALLBACK_SERVICE_INVOKE))) {
                    String methodsStr = invoker.getUrl().getParameters().get("methods");
                    boolean hasMethod = false;
                    if (methodsStr == null || methodsStr.indexOf(",") == -1) {
                        hasMethod = inv.getMethodName().equals(methodsStr);
                    } else {
                        String[] methods = methodsStr.split(",");
                        for (String method : methods) {
                            if (inv.getMethodName().equals(method)) {
                                hasMethod = true;
                                break;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    if (!hasMethod) {
                        logger.warn(new IllegalStateException("The methodName " + inv.getMethodName() + " not found in callback service interface ,invoke will be ignored. please update the api interface. url is:" + invoker.getUrl()) + " ,invocation is :" + inv);
                        return null;
                    }
                }
                RpcContext.getContext().setRemoteAddress(channel.getRemoteAddress());
                return invoker.invoke(inv);
            }
            throw new RemotingException(channel, "Unsupported request: " + message == null ? null : (message.getClass().getName() + ": " + message) + ", channel: consumer: " + channel.getRemoteAddress() + " --> provider: " + channel.getLocalAddress());
        }

 

看了netty事件之后我们来看看 数据传递的调用流程，
看过上面的内容我们就会发现Dubbo使用的是动态代理从而使得每次调用生产者接口的时候进行数据传输 而我们上面所述的步骤都是在初始化invoker 当我们初始化invoker完成后我们返回ReferenceConfig的CreateProxy方法 代码如下：

private T createProxy(Map<String, String> map) {
          //略过大段代码
            invoker = refprotocol.refer(interfaceClass, url);
        //略过大段代码
        // create service proxy
        return (T) proxyFactory.getProxy(invoker);
    }

 

可以看到在这个方法的末尾 Dubbo调用了ProxyFactory方法的getProxy来生成动态代理，参数就是我们之前初始化的invoker ProxyFactory的代码如下：

@SPI("javassist")
public interface ProxyFactory {

    /**
     * create proxy.
     *
     * @param invoker
     * @return proxy
     */
    @Adaptive({Constants.PROXY_KEY})
    <T> T getProxy(Invoker<T> invoker) throws RpcException;

    /**
     * create invoker.
     *
     * @param <T>
     * @param proxy
     * @param type
     * @param url
     * @return invoker
     */
    @Adaptive({Constants.PROXY_KEY})
    <T> Invoker<T> getInvoker(T proxy, Class<T> type, URL url) throws RpcException;

}

 

在接口的头部 @SPI("javassist")注解 表明了Dubbo是使用Javasist框架生成代理 我们进入JavassistProxyFactory方法 代码如下：

public class JavassistProxyFactory extends AbstractProxyFactory {

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public <T> T getProxy(Invoker<T> invoker, Class<?>[] interfaces) {
        return (T) Proxy.getProxy(interfaces).newInstance(new InvokerInvocationHandler(invoker));
    }

    public <T> Invoker<T> getInvoker(T proxy, Class<T> type, URL url) {
        // TODO Wrapper cannot handle this scenario correctly: the classname contains '$'
        final Wrapper wrapper = Wrapper.getWrapper(proxy.getClass().getName().indexOf('$') < 0 ? proxy.getClass() : type);
        return new AbstractProxyInvoker<T>(proxy, type, url) {
            @Override
            protected Object doInvoke(T proxy, String methodName,
                                      Class<?>[] parameterTypes,
                                      Object[] arguments) throws Throwable {
                return wrapper.invokeMethod(proxy, methodName, parameterTypes, arguments);
            }
        };
    }
}
public class InvokerInvocationHandler implements InvocationHandler {

    private final Invoker<?> invoker;

    public InvokerInvocationHandler(Invoker<?> handler) {
        this.invoker = handler;
    }

    public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args) throws Throwable {
        String methodName = method.getName();
        Class<?>[] parameterTypes = method.getParameterTypes();
        if (method.getDeclaringClass() == Object.class) {
            return method.invoke(invoker, args);
        }
        if ("toString".equals(methodName) && parameterTypes.length == 0) {
            return invoker.toString();
        }
        if ("hashCode".equals(methodName) && parameterTypes.length == 0) {
            return invoker.hashCode();
        }
        if ("equals".equals(methodName) && parameterTypes.length == 1) {
            return invoker.equals(args[0]);
        }
        return invoker.invoke(new RpcInvocation(method, args)).recreate();
    }

}

 

此处我们关注getProxy的方法中newInstance的参数new InvokerInvocationHandler(invoker) 可以看到InvokerInvocationHandler中实现了Java的动态代理接口InvocationHandler 当调用被代理的接口时会调用invoke方法 而此处的invoker是DubboInvoker的实现 故我们进入DubboInvoker.invoke 因DubboInvoker中无invoke实现 故我们进入父类AbstractInvoker 代码如下：

public Result invoke(Invocation inv) throws RpcException {
        if (destroyed.get()) {
            throw new RpcException("Rpc invoker for service " + this + " on consumer " + NetUtils.getLocalHost()
                    + " use dubbo version " + Version.getVersion()
                    + " is DESTROYED, can not be invoked any more!");
        }
        RpcInvocation invocation = (RpcInvocation) inv;
        invocation.setInvoker(this);
        if (attachment != null && attachment.size() > 0) {
            invocation.addAttachmentsIfAbsent(attachment);
        }
        Map<String, String> context = RpcContext.getContext().getAttachments();
        if (context != null) {
            invocation.addAttachmentsIfAbsent(context);
        }
        if (getUrl().getMethodParameter(invocation.getMethodName(), Constants.ASYNC_KEY, false)) {
            invocation.setAttachment(Constants.ASYNC_KEY, Boolean.TRUE.toString());
        }
        RpcUtils.attachInvocationIdIfAsync(getUrl(), invocation);


        try {
            return doInvoke(invocation);
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) { // biz exception
            Throwable te = e.getTargetException();
            if (te == null) {
                return new RpcResult(e);
            } else {
                if (te instanceof RpcException) {
                    ((RpcException) te).setCode(RpcException.BIZ_EXCEPTION);
                }
                return new RpcResult(te);
            }
        } catch (RpcException e) {
            if (e.isBiz()) {
                return new RpcResult(e);
            } else {
                throw e;
            }
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            return new RpcResult(e);
        }
    }

 

由此我们可以看到其实Dubbo在消费者调用生产者时调用的是DubboInvoker 的doInvoke方法 代码如下

protected Result doInvoke(final Invocation invocation) throws Throwable {
        RpcInvocation inv = (RpcInvocation) invocation;
        final String methodName = RpcUtils.getMethodName(invocation);
        inv.setAttachment(Constants.PATH_KEY, getUrl().getPath());
        inv.setAttachment(Constants.VERSION_KEY, version);

        ExchangeClient currentClient;
        if (clients.length == 1) {
            currentClient = clients[0];
        } else {
            currentClient = clients[index.getAndIncrement() % clients.length];
        }
        try {
            boolean isAsync = RpcUtils.isAsync(getUrl(), invocation);
            boolean isOneway = RpcUtils.isOneway(getUrl(), invocation);
            int timeout = getUrl().getMethodParameter(methodName, Constants.TIMEOUT_KEY, Constants.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT);
            if (isOneway) {
                boolean isSent = getUrl().getMethodParameter(methodName, Constants.SENT_KEY, false);
                //调用Netty的Send方法
                currentClient.send(inv, isSent);
                RpcContext.getContext().setFuture(null);
                return new RpcResult();
            } else if (isAsync) {
                调用Client的request方法 进行处理后再调用Netty的Send方法
                ResponseFuture future = currentClient.request(inv, timeout);
                RpcContext.getContext().setFuture(new FutureAdapter<Object>(future));
                return new RpcResult();
            } else {
                RpcContext.getContext().setFuture(null);
                return (Result) currentClient.request(inv, timeout).get();
            }
        } catch (TimeoutException e) {
            throw new RpcException(RpcException.TIMEOUT_EXCEPTION, "Invoke remote method timeout. method: " + invocation.getMethodName() + ", provider: " + getUrl() + ", cause: " + e.getMessage(), e);
        } catch (RemotingException e) {
            throw new RpcException(RpcException.NETWORK_EXCEPTION, "Failed to invoke remote method: " + invocation.getMethodName() + ", provider: " + getUrl() + ", cause: " + e.getMessage(), e);
        }
    }

 

从代码中可以看到dubboInvork最终调用了Client.send方法 因为Dubbo的消息传递用的是Netty 故进入NettyClient 但是NettyClient中没有Send方法 故进入父类AbstractClient 找到Send方法 代码如下：

public void send(Object message, boolean sent) throws RemotingException {
        if (send_reconnect && !isConnected()) {
            connect();
        }
        Channel channel = getChannel();
        //TODO Can the value returned by getChannel() be null? need improvement.
        if (channel == null || !channel.isConnected()) {
            throw new RemotingException(this, "message can not send, because channel is closed . url:" + getUrl());
        }
//
        channel.send(message, sent);
    }
```

至此 调用了Channel的send方法将消息发送到了生产者 至此消费者调用生产者接口 发送消息流程结束

2. dubbo 的 Provider 提供者如何使用 Netty

Provider demo 代码：

System.setProperty("java.net.preferIPv4Stack", "true");
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[]{"META-INF/spring/dubbo-demo-provider.xml"});
context.start();
System.in.read(); // press any key to exit

 

Provider 作为被访问方，肯定是一个 Server 模式的 Socket。如何启动的呢？

当 Spring 容器启动的时候，会调用一些扩展类的初始化方法，比如继承了 InitializingBean，ApplicationContextAware，ApplicationListener 。而 dubbo 创建了 ServiceBean 继承了一个监听器。Spring 会调用他的 onApplicationEvent 方法，该类有一个 export 方法，用于打开 ServerSocket 。

然后执行了 DubboProtocol 的 createServer 方法，然后创建了一个 NettyServer 对象。NettyServer 对象的
构造方法同样是 doOpen 方法和。代码如下：

protected void doOpen() throws Throwable {
    NettyHelper.setNettyLoggerFactory();
    ExecutorService boss = Executors.newCachedThreadPool(new NamedThreadFactory("NettyServerBoss", true));
    ExecutorService worker = Executors.newCachedThreadPool(new NamedThreadFactory("NettyServerWorker", true));
    ChannelFactory channelFactory = new NioServerSocketChannelFactory(boss, worker, getUrl().getPositiveParameter(Constants.IO_THREADS_KEY, Constants.DEFAULT_IO_THREADS));
    bootstrap = new ServerBootstrap(channelFactory);

    final NettyHandler nettyHandler = new NettyHandler(getUrl(), this);
    channels = nettyHandler.getChannels();
    bootstrap.setPipelineFactory(new ChannelPipelineFactory() {
        public ChannelPipeline getPipeline() {
            NettyCodecAdapter adapter = new NettyCodecAdapter(getCodec(), getUrl(), NettyServer.this);
            ChannelPipeline pipeline = Channels.pipeline();
            pipeline.addLast("decoder", adapter.getDecoder());
            pipeline.addLast("encoder", adapter.getEncoder());
            pipeline.addLast("handler", nettyHandler);
            return pipeline;
        }
    });
    channel = bootstrap.bind(getBindAddress());
}

 

该方法中，看到了熟悉的 boss 线程，worker 线程，和 ServerBootstrap，在添加了编解码 handler 之后，添加一个 NettyHandler，最后调用 bind 方法，完成绑定端口的工作。和我们使用 Netty 是一摸一样。

3. 总结

可以看到，dubbo 使用 Netty 还是挺简单的，消费者使用 NettyClient，提供者使用 NettyServer，Provider 启动的时候，会开启端口监听，使用我们平时启动 Netty 一样的方式。而 Client 在 Spring getBean 的时候，会创建 Client，当调用远程方法的时候，将数据通过 dubbo 协议编码发送到 NettyServer，然后 NettServer 收到数据后解码，并调用本地方法，并返回数据，完成一次完美的 RPC 调用。
