io.grpc.ServerBuilder<T>

io.grpc.inprocess.InProcessServerBuilder

@ExperimentalApi("https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/1783")
public final class InProcessServerBuilder
extends ForwardingServerBuilder<InProcessServerBuilder>

Builder for a server that services in-process requests. Clients identify the in-process server by its name.

The server is intended to be fully-featured, high performance, and useful in testing.

Using JUnit TestRule

The class "GrpcServerRule" (from "grpc-java/testing") is a JUnit TestRule that creates a InProcessServer and a ManagedChannel. This test rule contains the boilerplate code shown below. The classes "HelloWorldServerTest" and "HelloWorldClientTest" (from "grpc-java/examples") demonstrate basic usage.

Usage example

Server and client channel setup

   String uniqueName = InProcessServerBuilder.generateName();
   Server server = InProcessServerBuilder.forName(uniqueName)
       .directExecutor() // directExecutor is fine for unit tests
       .addService(/* your code here */)
       .build().start();
   ManagedChannel channel = InProcessChannelBuilder.forName(uniqueName)
       .directExecutor()
       .build();
 

Usage in tests

The channel can be used normally. A blocking stub example:

   TestServiceGrpc.TestServiceBlockingStub blockingStub =
       TestServiceGrpc.newBlockingStub(channel);

Method Detail

forName

public static InProcessServerBuilder forName(String name)

Create a server builder that will bind with the given name.

Parameters:

name - the identity of the server for clients to connect to

Returns:

a new builder

forAddress

public static InProcessServerBuilder forAddress(SocketAddress listenAddress)

Create a server builder which listens on the given address.

Parameters:

listenAddress - The SocketAddress this server will listen on.

Returns:

a new builder

forPort

public static InProcessServerBuilder forPort(int port)

Always fails. Call forName(java.lang.String) instead.

generateName

public static String generateName()

Generates a new server name that is unique each time.

delegate

@Internal
protected ServerBuilder<?> delegate()

Description copied from class: ForwardingServerBuilder

Returns the delegated ServerBuilder.

Specified by:

delegate in class ForwardingServerBuilder<InProcessServerBuilder>

scheduledExecutorService

public InProcessServerBuilder scheduledExecutorService(ScheduledExecutorService scheduledExecutorService)

Provides a custom scheduled executor service.

It's an optional parameter. If the user has not provided a scheduled executor service when the channel is built, the builder will use a static cached thread pool.

Returns:

this

Since:

1.11.0

deadlineTicker

public InProcessServerBuilder deadlineTicker(Deadline.Ticker ticker)

Provides a custom deadline ticker that this server will use to create incoming Deadlines.

This is intended for unit tests that fake out the clock. You should also have a fake ScheduledExecutorService whose clock is synchronized with this ticker and set it to scheduledExecutorService(java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService). DO NOT use this in production.

Returns:

this

Since:

1.24.0

See Also:

Deadline.after(long, TimeUnit, Deadline.Ticker)

maxInboundMetadataSize

public InProcessServerBuilder maxInboundMetadataSize(int bytes)

Sets the maximum size of metadata allowed to be received. Integer.MAX_VALUE disables the enforcement. Defaults to no limit (Integer.MAX_VALUE).

There is potential for performance penalty when this setting is enabled, as the Metadata must actually be serialized. Since the current implementation of Metadata pre-serializes, it's currently negligible. But Metadata is free to change its implementation.

Overrides:

maxInboundMetadataSize in class ForwardingServerBuilder<InProcessServerBuilder>

Parameters:

bytes - the maximum size of received metadata

Returns:

this

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if bytes is non-positive

Since:

1.17.0

useTransportSecurity

public InProcessServerBuilder useTransportSecurity(File certChain,
                                                   File privateKey)

Description copied from class: ServerBuilder

Makes the server use TLS.

Overrides:

useTransportSecurity in class ForwardingServerBuilder<InProcessServerBuilder>

Parameters:

certChain - file containing the full certificate chain

privateKey - file containing the private key

Returns:

this
