前言

紧接着上文Dubbo分析之Transport层，本文继续介绍Exchange层，此层官方介绍为信息交换层：封装请求响应模式，同步转异步，以 Request, Response 为中心，扩展接口为 Exchanger, ExchangeChannel, ExchangeClient, ExchangeServer；下面分别进行介绍

Exchanger分析

Exchanger是此层的核心接口类，提供了connect()和bind()接口，分别返回ExchangeClient和ExchangeServer；dubbo提供了此接口的默认实现类HeaderExchanger，代码如下：

public class HeaderExchanger implements Exchanger { public static final String NAME = "header"; @Override public ExchangeClient connect(URL url, ExchangeHandler handler) throws RemotingException { return new HeaderExchangeClient(Transporters.connect(url, new DecodeHandler(new HeaderExchangeHandler(handler))), true); } @Override public ExchangeServer bind(URL url, ExchangeHandler handler) throws RemotingException { return new HeaderExchangeServer(Transporters.bind(url, new DecodeHandler(new HeaderExchangeHandler(handler)))); } }

在实现类中在connect和bind中分别实例化了HeaderExchangeClient和HeaderExchangeServer，传入的参数是Transporters，可以认为这里就是Transport层的入口类；这里的ExchangeClient/ExchangeServer其实就是对Client/Server的包装，同时传入了自己的ChannelHandler；ChannelHandler已经在Transport层介绍过了，提供了连接建立，连接端口，发送请求，接受请求等接口；已默认使用的Netty为例，这里就是对NettyClient和NettyServer的包装，同时传入DecodeHandler，在NettyHandler中被调用；

ExchangeClient分析

ExchangeClient本身也继承于Client，同时也继承于ExchangeChannel：

public interface ExchangeClient extends Client, ExchangeChannel { } public interface ExchangeChannel extends Channel { ResponseFuture request(Object request) throws RemotingException; ResponseFuture request(Object request, int timeout) throws RemotingException; ExchangeHandler getExchangeHandler(); @Override void close(int timeout); }

ExchangeChannel负责将上层的data包装成Request，然后发送给Transport层；具体的逻辑在HeaderExchangeChannel中：

public ResponseFuture request(Object request, int timeout) throws RemotingException { if (closed) { throw new RemotingException(this.getLocalAddress(), null, "Failed to send request " + request + ", cause: The channel " + this + " is closed!"); } // create request. Request req = new Request(); req.setVersion(Version.getProtocolVersion()); req.setTwoWay(true); req.setData(request); DefaultFuture future = new DefaultFuture(channel, req, timeout); try { channel.send(req); } catch (RemotingException e) { future.cancel(); throw e; } return future; }

创建了一个Request，在构造器中同时会产生一个RequestId；设置了协议版本，是否双向通信，最后设置了真实的业务数据；接下来实例化了一个DefaultFuture类，此类实现了同步转异步的方式，channel调用send发送请求之后，不需要等待结果，直接将DefaultFuture返回给上层，上层可以通过调用DefaultFuture的get方法来获取响应，get方法会阻塞等待获取服务器的响应才会返回；Client接收消息在handler里面，比如Netty在NettyHandler里面messageReceived方法介绍响应消息，NettyHandler最终会调用上面传入的DecodeHandler，DecodeHandler会先判断一下是否已经解码，如果解码就直接调用HeaderExchangeHandler，默认已经设置了编码解码器，所以会直接调用HeaderExchangeHandler里面的received方法：

public void received(Channel channel, Object message) throws RemotingException { channel.setAttribute(KEY_READ_TIMESTAMP, System.currentTimeMillis()); ExchangeChannel exchangeChannel = HeaderExchangeChannel.getOrAddChannel(channel); try { if (message instanceof Request) { // handle request. Request request = (Request) message; if (request.isEvent()) { handlerEvent(channel, request); } else { if (request.isTwoWay()) { Response response = handleRequest(exchangeChannel, request); channel.send(response); } else { handler.received(exchangeChannel, request.getData()); } } } else if (message instanceof Response) { handleResponse(channel, (Response) message); } else if (message instanceof String) { if (isClientSide(channel)) { Exception e = new Exception("Dubbo client can not supported string message: " + message + " in channel: " + channel + ", url: " + channel.getUrl()); logger.error(e.getMessage(), e); } else { String echo = handler.telnet(channel, (String) message); if (echo != null && echo.length() > 0) { channel.send(echo); } } } else { handler.received(exchangeChannel, message); } } finally { HeaderExchangeChannel.removeChannelIfDisconnected(channel); } }

服务端和客户端都会使用此方法，这里是客户端接受的是Response，直接调用handleResponse方法：

static void handleResponse(Channel channel, Response response) throws RemotingException { if (response != null && !response.isHeartbeat()) { DefaultFuture.received(channel, response); } }

接收到响应之后，再去告诉DefaultFuture已经收到响应，DefaultFuture本身存放了requestId对应DefaultFuture的一个ConcurrentHashMap；具体怎么映射过去，Response也包含一个responseId，此responseId和requestId是相同的；

private final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock(); private final Condition done = lock.newCondition(); public static void received(Channel channel, Response response) { try { DefaultFuture future = FUTURES.remove(response.getId()); if (future != null) { future.doReceived(response); } else { logger.warn("The timeout response finally returned at " + (new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS").format(new Date())) + ", response " + response + (channel == null ? "" : ", channel: " + channel.getLocalAddress() + " -> " + channel.getRemoteAddress())); } } finally { CHANNELS.remove(response.getId()); } } private void doReceived(Response res) { lock.lock(); try { response = res; if (done != null) { done.signal(); } } finally { lock.unlock(); } if (callback != null) { invokeCallback(callback); } }

通过responseId获取了之前请求时创建的DefaultFuture，然后再更新DefaultFuture内部的response对象，更新完之后在调用Condition的signal方法，用户唤起通过DefaultFuture的get方法获取响应的阻塞线程：

public Object get(int timeout) throws RemotingException { if (timeout <= 0) { timeout = Constants.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT; } if (!isDone()) { long start = System.currentTimeMillis(); lock.lock(); try { while (!isDone()) { done.await(timeout, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS); if (isDone() || System.currentTimeMillis() - start > timeout) { break; } } } catch (InterruptedException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } finally { lock.unlock(); } if (!isDone()) { throw new TimeoutException(sent > 0, channel, getTimeoutMessage(false)); } } return returnFromResponse(); }

可以发现阻塞要么被获取被signal方法唤醒，要么等待超时；以上大致是客户端发送获取响应的流程，下面看看服务器端流程

ExchangeServer分析

ExchangeServer继承于Server，同时提供了两个包装服务端Channel的方法

public interface ExchangeServer extends Server { Collection<ExchangeChannel> getExchangeChannels(); ExchangeChannel getExchangeChannel(InetSocketAddress remoteAddress); }

服务器端主要用于接收Request消息，然后处理消息，最后把响应发送给客户端，相关接收消息已经在上面介绍过了，同样是在HeaderExchangeHandler里面的received方法中，只不过这里的消息类型为Request；

Response handleRequest(ExchangeChannel channel, Request req) throws RemotingException { Response res = new Response(req.getId(), req.getVersion()); if (req.isBroken()) { Object data = req.getData(); String msg; if (data == null) msg = null; else if (data instanceof Throwable) msg = StringUtils.toString((Throwable) data); else msg = data.toString(); res.setErrorMessage("Fail to decode request due to: " + msg); res.setStatus(Response.BAD_REQUEST); return res; } // find handler by message class. Object msg = req.getData(); try { // handle data. Object result = handler.reply(channel, msg); res.setStatus(Response.OK); res.setResult(result); } catch (Throwable e) { res.setStatus(Response.SERVICE_ERROR); res.setErrorMessage(StringUtils.toString(e)); } return res; }

首先创建了一个Response，并且指定responseId为requestId，方便在客户端定位到具体的DefaultFuture；然后调用handler的reply方法处理消息，返回结果，如何处理的将在后面的protocol层介绍，大致就是通过Request的信息，反射调用Server端的服务，然后返回结果，然后将结果放入Response对象中，通过channel将消息发送客户端；

总结

本文介绍了Exchange层的大体流程，围绕Exchanger，ExchangeClient和ExchangeServer展开；请求封装成Request，响应封装成Response，客户端通过异步的方式接收服务器请求；
