Dubbo proxy

The dubbo proxy filter decodes the RPC protocol between dubbo clients and servers. the decoded RPC information is converted to metadata. the metadata includes the basic request ID, request type, serialization type, and the required service name, method name, parameter name, and parameter value for routing.

  • This filter should be configured with the type URL type.googleapis.com/envoy.extensions.filters.network.dubbo_proxy.v3.DubboProxy.

  • v3 API reference

Implement custom filter based on the dubbo proxy filter

If you want to implement a custom filter based on the dubbo protocol, the dubbo proxy filter like HTTP also provides a very convenient way to expand, the first step is to implement the DecoderFilter interface, and give the filter named, such as testFilter, the second step is to add your configuration, configuration method refer to the following sample

filter_chains:
- filters:
  - name: envoy.filters.network.dubbo_proxy
    typed_config:
      "@type": type.googleapis.com/envoy.extensions.filters.network.dubbo_proxy.v3.DubboProxy
      stat_prefix: dubbo_incomming_stats
      protocol_type: Dubbo
      serialization_type: Hessian2
      multiple_route_config:
        name: local_route
        route_config:
        - interface: org.apache.dubbo.demo.DemoService
          routes:
          - match:
              method:
                name:
                  exact: sayHello
            route:
              cluster: user_service_dubbo_server
      dubbo_filters:
      - name: envoy.filters.dubbo.testFilter
        typed_config:
          "@type": type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Struct
          value:
            name: test_service
      - name: envoy.filters.dubbo.router
