""" An RPC server exposes a number of endpoints, each of which contain a set of methods which may be invoked remotely by clients over a given transport. To create an RPC server, you supply a transport, target and a list of endpoints. A transport can be obtained simply by calling the get_rpc_transport() method:: transport = messaging.get_rpc_transport(conf) which will load the appropriate transport driver according to the user's messaging configuration. See get_rpc_transport() for more details. The target supplied when creating an RPC server expresses the topic, server name and - optionally - the exchange to listen on. See Target for more details on these attributes. Multiple RPC Servers may listen to the same topic (and exchange) simultaneously. See RPCClient for details regarding how RPC requests are distributed to the Servers in this case. Each endpoint object may have a target attribute which may have namespace and version fields set. By default, we use the 'null namespace' and version 1.0. Incoming method calls will be dispatched to the first endpoint with the requested method, a matching namespace and a compatible version number. The first parameter to method invocations is always the request context supplied by the client. The remaining parameters are the arguments supplied to the method by the client. Endpoint methods may return a value. If so the RPC Server will send the returned value back to the requesting client via the transport. The executor parameter controls how incoming messages will be received and dispatched. Refer to the Executor documentation for descriptions of the types of executors. *Note:* If the "eventlet" executor is used, the threading and time library need to be monkeypatched. The RPC reply operation is best-effort: the server will consider the message containing the reply successfully sent once it is accepted by the messaging transport. The server does not guarantee that the reply is processed by the RPC client. If the send fails an error will be logged and the server will continue to processing incoming RPC requests. Parameters to the method invocation and values returned from the method are python primitive types. However the actual encoding of the data in the message may not be in primitive form (e.g. the message payload may be a dictionary encoded as an ASCII string using JSON). A serializer object is used to convert incoming encoded message data to primitive types. The serializer is also used to convert the return value from primitive types to an encoding suitable for the message payload. RPC servers have start(), stop() and wait() methods to begin handling requests, stop handling requests, and wait for all in-process requests to complete after the Server has been stopped. A simple example of an RPC server with multiple endpoints might be:: # NOTE(changzhi): We are using eventlet executor and # time.sleep(1), therefore, the server code needs to be # monkey-patched. import eventlet eventlet.monkey_patch() from oslo_config import cfg import oslo_messaging import time class ServerControlEndpoint(object): target = oslo_messaging.Target(namespace='control', version='2.0') def __init__(self, server): self.server = server def stop(self, ctx): if self.server: self.server.stop() class TestEndpoint(object): def test(self, ctx, arg): return arg transport = oslo_messaging.get_rpc_transport(cfg.CONF) target = oslo_messaging.Target(topic='test', server='server1') endpoints = [ ServerControlEndpoint(None), TestEndpoint(), ] server = oslo_messaging.get_rpc_server(transport, target, endpoints, executor='eventlet') try: server.start() while True: time.sleep(1) except KeyboardInterrupt: print("Stopping server") server.stop() server.wait() """ __all__ = [ 'get_rpc_server', 'expected_exceptions', 'expose' ] import logging import sys from oslo_messaging._i18n import _LE from oslo_messaging.rpc import dispatcher as rpc_dispatcher from oslo_messaging import server as msg_server from oslo_messaging import transport as msg_transport LOG = logging.getLogger(__name__) class RPCServer(msg_server.MessageHandlingServer): def __init__(self, transport, target, dispatcher, executor='blocking'): super(RPCServer, self).__init__(transport, dispatcher, executor) if not isinstance(transport, msg_transport.RPCTransport): LOG.warning("Using notification transport for RPC.
