Interoperability between Rust and Java

Call Dubbo services developed in Java using Rust.

1 Prerequisites

  • Install the Rust development environment
  • Install the protoc tool
  • Install the Java development environment

2 Run the Example Java Version of Dubbo Provider

The source code for the Java version of the Dubbo provider can be found at https://github.com/apache/dubbo-samples/tree/master/3-extensions/protocol/dubbo-samples-triple.

Clone the source code, compile, and run the provider:

$ # clone the source code
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-samples.git
$ cd dubbo-samples/dubbo-samples-triple/

$ # build
$ mvn clean compile package -DskipTests

$ # run the provider
$ java -Dprovider.port=8888 -jar ./target/dubbo-samples-triple-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
# … omitted part of the logs
Dubbo triple stub server started, port=8888

3 Run the Rust Version of Dubbo Consumer

The source code for the Rust version of the Dubbo consumer can be found at https://github.com/apache/dubbo-rust/tree/main/examples/greeter.

Clone the source code, compile, and run the consumer:

$ # clone the source code
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-rust.git
$ cd dubbo-rust/examples/greeter/

$ # build
$ cargo build

$ # run the consumer, call the provider
$ ../../target/debug/greeter-client
# unary call

# bi stream

reply: GreeterReply { message: "msg3 from server" }
trailer: Some(Metadata { inner: {"content-type": "application/grpc", "grpc-message": "poll trailer successfully.", "grpc-accept-encoding": "gzip,identity", "grpc-status": "0"} })
