Migrate from PARSER to parser() as a way of getting the parser of a protobuf message. This was done by #587 (commit af9fb6de77107d817bf69cdb9e45e235a76dd8bd) but was accidentally reverted by commit 73acc73dbf53171ab6d6126d1eb1e76e9ce81171.
gRPC-Java works with JDK 6. TLS usage typically requires using Java 8, or Play Services Dynamic Security Provider on Android. Please see the Security Readme.
Download the JAR. Or for Maven, add to your pom.xml
:
<dependency> <groupId>io.grpc</groupId> <artifactId>grpc-all</artifactId> <version>0.7.1</version> </dependency>
Or for Gradle, add to your dependencies:
compile 'io.grpc:grpc-all:0.7.1'
Development snapshots are available in Sonatypes's snapshot repository.
For protobuf-based codegen integrated with the Maven build system, you can use maven-protoc-plugin:
<pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <releases> <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>false</enabled> </snapshots> <id>central</id> <name>Central Repository</name> <url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url> </pluginRepository> <pluginRepository> <id>protoc-plugin</id> <url>https://dl.bintray.com/sergei-ivanov/maven/</url> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> <build> <extensions> <extension> <groupId>kr.motd.maven</groupId> <artifactId>os-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.2.3.Final</version> </extension> </extensions> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>com.google.protobuf.tools</groupId> <artifactId>maven-protoc-plugin</artifactId> <version>0.4.2</version> <configuration> <protocArtifact>com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.0.0-alpha-3.1:exe:${os.detected.classifier}</protocArtifact> <pluginId>grpc-java</pluginId> <pluginArtifact>io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:0.7.1:exe:${os.detected.classifier}</pluginArtifact> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>compile</goal> <goal>compile-custom</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
For protobuf-based codegen integrated with the Gradle build system, you can use protobuf-gradle-plugin:
apply plugin: 'com.google.protobuf' buildscript { repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath 'com.google.protobuf:protobuf-gradle-plugin:0.4.1' } } sourceSets { main { proto { plugins { grpc { } } } } } protocDep = "com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.0.0-alpha-3.1" protobufNativeCodeGenPluginDeps = ["grpc:io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:0.7.1"]
This section is only necessary if you are making changes to gRPC-Java.
Building requires JDK 8, as our tests use TLS.
grpc-java has a C++ code generation plugin for protoc. Since many Java developers don't have C compilers installed and don't need to modify the codegen, the build can skip it. To skip, create the file <project-root>/gradle.properties
and add skipCodegen=true
.
Then, to build, run:
$ ./gradlew build
To install the artifacts to your Maven local repository for use in your own project, run:
$ ./gradlew install
This section is only necessary if you are making changes to the code generation. Most users only need to use skipCodegen=true
as discussed above.
The codegen plugin is C++ code and requires protobuf 3.0.0-alpha-3.1.
For Linux, Mac and MinGW:
$ git clone https://github.com/google/protobuf.git $ cd protobuf $ git checkout v3.0.0-alpha-3.1 $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make $ make check $ sudo make install
If you are comfortable with C++ compilation and autotools, you can specify a --prefix
for Protobuf and use -I
in CXXFLAGS
, -L
in LDFLAGS
, LD_LIBRARY_PATH
, and PATH
to reference it. The environment variables will be used when building grpc-java.
Protobuf installs to /usr/local
by default.
For Visual C++, please refer to the Protobuf README for how to compile Protobuf.
If /usr/local/lib
is not in your library search path, you can add it by running:
$ sudo sh -c 'echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf' $ sudo ldconfig
Some versions of Mac OS X (e.g., 10.10) doesn't have /usr/local
in the default search paths for header files and libraries. It will fail the build of the codegen. To work around this, you will need to set environment variables:
$ export CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
When building on Windows and VC++, you need to specify project properties for Gradle to find protobuf:
.\gradlew install ^ -PvcProtobufInclude=C:\path\to\protobuf-3.0.0-alpha-3.1\src ^ -PvcProtobufLibs=C:\path\to\protobuf-3.0.0-alpha-3.1\vsprojects\Release
Since specifying those properties every build is bothersome, you can instead create <project-root>\gradle.properties
with contents like:
vcProtobufInclude=C:\\path\\to\\protobuf-3.0.0-alpha-3.1\\src vcProtobufLibs=C:\\path\\to\\protobuf-3.0.0-alpha-3.1\\vsprojects\\Release
The build script will build the codegen for the same architecture as the Java runtime installed on your system. If you are using 64-bit JVM, the codegen will be compiled for 64-bit, that means you must have compiled Protobuf in 64-bit.
If you have both MinGW and VC++ installed on Windows, VC++ will be used by default. To override this default and use MinGW, add -PvcDisable=true
to your Gradle command line or add vcDisable=true
to your <project-root>\gradle.properties
.
The build script pulls pre-compiled protoc
from Maven Central by default. We have built protoc
binaries for popular systems, but they may not work for your system. If protoc
cannot be downloaded or would not run, you can use the one that has been built by your own, by adding this property to <project-root>/gradle.properties
:
protoc=/path/to/protoc
Heres a quick readers guide to the code to help folks get started. At a high level there are three distinct layers to the library: stub, channel & transport.
The 'stub' layer is what is exposed to most developers and provides type-safe bindings to whatever datamodel/IDL/interface you are adapting. An example is provided of a binding to code generated by the protocol-buffers compiler but others should be trivial to add and are welcome.
The 'channel' layer is an abstraction over transport handling that is suitable for interception/decoration and exposes more behavior to the application than the stub layer. It is intended to be easy for application frameworks to use this layer to address cross-cutting concerns such as logging, monitoring, auth etc. Flow-control is also exposed at this layer to allow more sophisticated applications to interact with it directly.
The 'transport' layer does the heavy lifting of putting & taking bytes off the wire. The interfaces to it are abstract just enough to allow plugging in of different implementations. Transports are modeled as 'Stream' factories. The variation in interface between a server stream and a client stream exists to codify their differing semantics for cancellation and error reporting.
Tests showing how these layers are composed to execute calls using protobuf messages can be found here https://github.com/google/grpc-java/tree/master/interop-testing/src/main/java/io/grpc/testing/integration
