MSF4J - Java微服务框架

jopen 8年前

WSO2 Microservices Framework for Java (MSF4J) 是一个轻量级,高性能的框架用于开发和运行微服务。

WSO2 MSF4J is one of the highest performing lightweight Java microservices frameworks. The following graphs show the throughput & memory consumption characteristics of MSF4J against other microservices frameworks.



Throughput
 

An echo service which accepts a 1KB request & echoes it back was developed for the respective frameworks, and requests were sent for different concurrency values. The test was repeated for each concurrency value for each framework and the average throughput was calculated. Tests were run out of the box without any tuning on 8 core 64GB server.

Memory 

Memory usage for each framework was observed after running the 1KB payload echo microservice on each framework & sending a number of requests at different concurrency levels to each service. The graph above shows the averaged out values after several runs for each framework. Tests were run out of the box without any tuning on 8 core 64GB server.

More details about the performance test can found here.

Hello world with MSF4J

It is really easy to define & deploy a Java microservice using WSO2 MSF4J. You simply need to annotate your service and deploy it using a single line of code.

Let's get started by writing a hello world MSF4J microservice.

You can use the msf4j-microservice Maven archetype to create your first MSF4J project. Make sure you have JDK 1.8 and Maven 3.x installed, & run the following command.

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.wso2.msf4j \  -DarchetypeArtifactId=msf4j-microservice -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.0 \  -DgroupId=org.example -DartifactId=Hello-Service -Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT \  -Dpackage=org.example.service -DserviceClass=HelloService

This will generate a project structure for you to quickly get started. Next navigate to the Hello-Service directory. You will find a pom.xml file and also an src directory.

pom.xml

This pom file inherits from the msf4j-service/pom.xml. It provides a way of setting things up quickly with minimum amount of configuration. Click here for more information.

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"           xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">        <parent>          <groupId>org.wso2.msf4j</groupId>          <artifactId>msf4j-service</artifactId>          <version>1.0.0</version>      </parent>      <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>        <groupId>org.example</groupId>      <artifactId>Hello-Service</artifactId>      <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>      <name>WSO2 MSF4J Microservice</name>        <properties>          <microservice.mainClass>org.example.service.Application</microservice.mainClass>      </properties>    </project>

You don't need to change anything in this pom.xml file.

HelloService.java

Change the org.example.service.HelloService class as follows to echo back the name input parameter. You can remove the auto generated code and replace it with the following code segment:

package org.example.service;     import javax.ws.rs.GET;  import javax.ws.rs.Path;  import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;    @Path("/hello")  public class HelloService {        @GET      @Path("/{name}")      public String hello(@PathParam("name") String name) {          return "Hello " + name;      }    }

Application.java

This is the one-liner to deploy your service using WSO2 MSF4J.

public class Application {      public static void main(String[] args) {          new MicroservicesRunner()                  .deploy(new HelloService())                  .start();      }  }

Build the Service

Run the following Maven command. This will create the fat jar Hello-Service-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar in the target directory.

mvn package

This fat jar is a jar file that contains your microservice as well as all its dependencies.

Run the Service

You just have to run the following command to get your service up and running.

java -jar target/Hello-Service-*.jar

Test the Service with cURL

Run the following command or simply go to http://localhost:8080/hello/wso2 from your browser.

curl http://localhost:8080/hello/wso2

You should see a response that prints "Hello wso2"

Supported Annotations

In this section, we will look at the annotations used in MSF4J microservices. As you may have already noticed, we support a subset of the JAXRS annotations.

Class level annotations

@Path

Root path for resource methods. All the paths specified in the resource methods will be sub paths of this.

@Consumes

Default consume media type(s) for resource methods. The resource methods that do not specify @Consume annotation will inherit this consume media type(s).

@Produces

Default produce media type(s) for resource methods. The resource methods that do not specify @Produce annotation will inherit this produce media type(s).

Method level annotations

@Path

Endpoint of the resource method relative to @Path of the container resource class.

@Consumes

Media type(s) that the method can consume. This overrides the class level @Consumes media types.

@Produces

Media type(s) that is produced by the method. This overrides the class level @Produces media types.

@GET

HTTP GET method. Specify that the resource method supports HTTP GET method.

@PUT

HTTP PUT method. Specify that the resource method supports HTTP PUT method.

@POST

HTTP POST method. Specify that the resource method supports HTTP POST method.

@DELETE

HTTP DELETE method. Specify that the resource method supports HTTP DELETE method.

Parameter level annotations

@DefaultValue

Specify a default value for a resource method parameter. The value will be automatically converted to the corresponding parameter's type.

@Context

Inject additional objects to a resource method. Currently supports injection of following objects.

  • org.wso2.msf4j.HttpStreamHandler - This object can be used to stream a chunked request body and process it while the request is streaming.
  • io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpRequest - This object can be used to retrieve HTTP request information. More info.
  • org.wso2.msf4j.HttpResponder - This object can be used to send HTTP responses. You can make responses more clean way by returning an instance of javax.ws.rs.core.Response or a POJO. See the StockQuote-Service sample.
@PathParam

/StockQuote/{symbol} to get value of symbol. The value will be automatically converted to the corresponding parameter type and assigned to that parameter.

@QueryParam

/Students?age=18 to get value of age. The value will be automatically converted to the corresponding parameter type and assigned to that parameter.

@HeaderParam

To read HTTP request header values. The value will be automatically converted to the corresponding parameter type and assigned to that parameter.

Lifecycle Callback Methods

Support following Java lifecycle callback method annotations.

@PostConstruct

Invoke by the container on newly constructed service instances after all dependency injection has completed and before transport starts.

@PreDestroy

Invoke by the container during server shutdown before the container removes the service instance.

For a detailed example, check out the lifecycle sample here.

Annotations for Analytics

In this section, we will look at the annotations available for analytics purposes MSF4J microservices. There are annotations for Metrics and HTTP Monitoring.

You will need to configure analytics when you want to publish Metrics and HTTP Monitoring events to WSO2 Data Analytics Server (DAS).

The Metrics data will be published to WSO2 DAS periodically. However the HTTP Monitoring events are published on each request.

For a detailed example, check out the Metrics and HTTP Monitoring sample.

Metrics Annotations

You can use the Metrics annnotations in your MSF4J microservices to understand how your microservices work in production.

There are three metrics annotations supported. Those are @Counted, @Metered and @Timed.

Each metric must have a unique name and the MSF4J will use the fully qualified method name as the metric name by default. You can give a custom name by using the "name" parameter. This custom name will be appended to the fully qualified method name with a dot character. You can set the "absolute" parameter to "true" if you want use only the given name as the metric name.

For example, see following table to understand how the final metric name is built by the Metrics runtime. Let's asssume that the annotation is added to the "hello" method of "HelloService" shown above.

Metrics Annotation Metric Name
@Counted org.example.service.HelloService.hello
@Counted(name = "helloCounter") org.example.service.HelloService.hello.helloCounter
@Counted(name = "helloCounter", absolute = true) helloCounter

The Metrics annotations can be used only at the Method level.

You can also configure a level in Metrics Annotations. For more information about Metric Levels, see WSO2 Carbon Metrics. In MSF4J, you can load the metrics level configuration via the System Propery named metrics.level.configuration.

@Counted

Count the method invocations. There is a parameter named "monotonic" and it is set to false by default. This means that the counter is decremented when the method returns. This is useful to count the current invocations of the annotated method.

Use @Counted(monotonic = true) when you want the counter to increase monotonically. This is useful to count the total invocations of the annotated method

@Metered

Measure the rate of method invocations. This also keeps a count of the total invocations of the annotated method.

@Timed

Maintain a histogram of durations of each method invocation. This also measures the rate of method invocations and keeps a count of the total invocations of the annotated method.

HTTP Monitoring Annotation

You can use the annotation provided for HTTP Monitoring when you want to monitor each HTTP request and see the summary in "HTTP Monitoring Dashboard".

@HTTPMonitored

Monitor each HTTP request. This annotation can be used at the Class level and the Method level.
