Scala

Any language compiled into byte code which is run on JVM can be used to write microservices for JLupin. The example of such a language is Scala. It also supports using Java libraries inside Scala's code, so it is easy to use JLupin Client library.

Native microservice

You can use libraries written in Java in your Scala code, so you won't see any plain Java class.

Project structure and dependencies

This is standard structure of Scala project. Create directories and empty files as shown below.

Figure 1. Structure of project.

Remember to configure SBT by editing project/build.properties file and add:

sbt.version=1.1.1

Configure your build (build.sbt):

name := "scala-hello-world"
organization := "com.example"
version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.11.8"

resolvers += "jlupin-central" at "http://support.jlupin.com/maven2/"

libraryDependencies += "org.springframework" % "spring-context" % "4.3.9.RELEASE" % "provided"
libraryDependencies += "com.jlupin" % "jlupin-client-assembly" % "1.4.1.0-RC6" % "provided"

All dependencies are set to scope provided because they are available on server by default. Also one reslover is added with JLupin Maven repository address for getting jlupin-client-assembly library.

Microservice code

Add two files with configuration: one for JLupin (ScalaHelloWorldJLupinConfiguration) and one for Spring container (ScalaHelloWorldSpringConfiguration). Create package com.example.configuration and put classed there.

package com.example.configuration

import com.jlupin.impl.container.application.spring.{JLupinAbstractSpringApplicationContainer}
import com.jlupin.interfaces.configuration.microservice.container.application.{JLupinAbstractApplicationContainerProducer}
import org.springframework.context.annotation.{AnnotationConfigApplicationContext}
import org.springframework.context.support.{AbstractApplicationContext}

class ScalaHelloWorldJLupinConfiguration extends JLupinAbstractApplicationContainerProducer {
    def produceJLupinApplicationContainer = new JLupinAbstractSpringApplicationContainer {
        def getAbstractApplicationContext = {
            new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(classOf[ScalaHelloWorldSpringConfiguration]).asInstanceOf[AbstractApplicationContext]
        }
    }
}
package com.example.configuration

import org.springframework.context.annotation.{Bean, ComponentScan, Configuration}
import scala.collection.JavaConverters._

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(Array("com.example"))
class ScalaHelloWorldSpringConfiguration {
    @Bean(name = Array("jLupinRegularExpressionToRemotelyEnabled"))
    def getRemotelyBeanList = {
        val list = List(
            "exampleService"
        )
        list.asJava
    }
}

Microservice is configured but does nothing. Create two packages com.example.service.interfaces and com.example.service.impl and put service definitions in them:

package com.example.service.interfaces

trait ExampleService {
    def hello(name : String): String
}
package com.example.service.impl

import com.example.service.interface.{ExampleService}
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service

@Service(value = "exampleService")
class ExampleServiceImpl extends ExampleService {
    def hello(name : String) = "Hello, " + name + "!"
}

Microservice is done. You only need to add configuration for it. Create special directory for it called additional-files. Put in there two files: configuration.yml and log4j2.xml.

To make it simpler to deploy out microservice add Maven definition pom.xml to use JLupin Next Server Maven Plugin to create deployable zip file and to deploy created microservice (you can of cource do it without it, but then it requires more work from you).

You may noticed two things. First is that there is scala-library dependency added. By default server does not contain it and it is certain that our microservice requires it to run - ended up it is written in scala. By adding it here it will be automatically added to our microservice zip. Also <finalName> parameter is changed to match path where jar file is generated by SBT.

Microservice deployment

To deploy microservice make sure that you have started JLupin Platform and first compile your microservice to jar archive. It is done with command sbt package. Then create microservice deployable zip file with command mvn jlupin-next-server:zip@jlupin-zip and in the end deploy it to server with command mvn jlupin-next-server:deploy@jlupin-deploy. All three steps should succeeded.
