TarsFramework deployment by Docker

This guide uses Docker to complete the deployment of Tars.[Macos、 Linux]

2. Start TarsFramework in Docker

docker pull tarscloud/framework:latest
docker pull tarscloud/tars-node:latest
docker pull   mysql:5.6
docker network create -d bridge --subnet=172.25.0.0/16 --gateway=172.25.0.1 tars
docker run -d \
--net=tars \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="root@appinside" \
--ip="172.25.0.2" \
--name=tars-mysql \
mysql:5.6
sleep 30s
docker run -d \
--net=tars \
-e MYSQL_HOST=172.25.0.2 \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD='root@appinside' \
-eREBUILD=false  -eSLAVE=false \
-e INET=eth0 \
--ip="172.25.0.4" \
-p 3000-3001:3000-3001 \
tarscloud/framework
sleep 60s
docker run -d --net=tars --ip="172.25.0.3"  -eWEB_HOST=http://172.25.0.4:3000        tarscloud/tars-node

Note: - P 18600-18700:18600-18700 parameter opens 18600-18700 port for application. You can add more ports if necessary

Service development

Tars interface file definition

Tars has its own interface file format. First, we need to define the Tars interface file. Create a new hello.tars file in the resources directory with the following content:

module TestApp
{
    interface Hello
    {
        string hello(int no, string name);
    };
};

Interface file compilation

Then we need to convert the Tars interface file to the server interface code using the tars-maven-plugin. In the project root directory, execute mvn tars: tars2java to get HelloServant.java, the content is as follows:

@Servant
public interface HelloServant {

    public String hello(int no, String name);
}

Interface implementation

Next we need to implement the generated server interface. Create a new HelloServantImpl.java file, implement the HelloServant.java interface, and expose the service through the @TarsServant annotation, where 'HelloObj' is the servant name, corresponding to the name in the web management platform.

@TarsServant("HelloObj")
public class HelloServantImpl implements HelloServant {

    @Override
    public String hello(int no, String name) {
        return String.format("hello no=%s, name=%s, time=%s", no, name, System.currentTimeMillis());
    }
}

Tars service enabling

Finally, add @EnableTarsServer annotation in the spring boot startup class QuickStartApplication to enable Tars service:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableTarsServer
public class QuickStartApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(QuickStartApplication.class, args);
    }
}
