Quick Start

Quick Start

Let's begin with a Microservices example.

Use case

A business logic for user purchasing commodities. The whole business logic is powered by 3 microservices:

• Storage service: deduct storage count on given commodity.
• Order service: create order according to purchase request.
• Account service: debit the balance of user's account.

Architecture

StorageService

public interface StorageService {

    /**
     * deduct storage count
     */
    void deduct(String commodityCode, int count);
}

OrderService

public interface OrderService {

    /**
     * create order
     */
    Order create(String userId, String commodityCode, int orderCount);
}

AccountService

public interface AccountService {

    /**
     * debit balance of user's account
     */
    void debit(String userId, int money);
}

Main business logic

public class BusinessServiceImpl implements BusinessService {

    private StorageService storageService;

    private OrderService orderService;

    /**
     * purchase
     */
    public void purchase(String userId, String commodityCode, int orderCount) {

        storageService.deduct(commodityCode, orderCount);

        orderService.create(userId, commodityCode, orderCount);
    }
}

public class OrderServiceImpl implements OrderService {

    private OrderDAO orderDAO;

    private AccountService accountService;

    public Order create(String userId, String commodityCode, int orderCount) {

        int orderMoney = calculate(commodityCode, orderCount);

        accountService.debit(userId, orderMoney);

        Order order = new Order();
        order.userId = userId;
        order.commodityCode = commodityCode;
        order.count = orderCount;
        order.money = orderMoney;

        // INSERT INTO orders ...
        return orderDAO.insert(order);
    }

Distributed Transaction Solution with FESCAR

We just need an annotation @GlobalTransactional on business method:

    @GlobalTransactional
    public void purchase(String userId, String commodityCode, int orderCount) {
        ......
    }

Example powered by Dubbo + FESCAR

Step 1: Setup database

• Requirement: MySQL with InnoDB engine.

Note: In fact, there should be 3 database for the 3 services in the example use case. However, we can just create one database and configure 3 data sources for simple.

Modify Spring XML with the database URL/username/password you just created.

dubbo-account-service.xml dubbo-order-service.xml dubbo-storage-service.xml

        <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://x.x.x.x:3306/xxx" />
        <property name="username" value="xxx" />
        <property name="password" value="xxx" />

Step 2: Create UNDO_LOG table

UNDO_LOG table is required by FESCAR AT mode.

CREATE TABLE `undo_log` (
  `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `branch_id` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
  `xid` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `rollback_info` longblob NOT NULL,
  `log_status` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `log_created` datetime NOT NULL,
  `log_modified` datetime NOT NULL,
  `ext` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `idx_unionkey` (`xid`,`branch_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=159 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

Step 3: Create tables for example business

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `storage_tbl`;
CREATE TABLE `storage_tbl` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `commodity_code` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `count` int(11) DEFAULT 0,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY (`commodity_code`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;


DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `order_tbl`;
CREATE TABLE `order_tbl` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `user_id` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `commodity_code` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `count` int(11) DEFAULT 0,
  `money` int(11) DEFAULT 0,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;


DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `account_tbl`;
CREATE TABLE `account_tbl` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `user_id` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `money` int(11) DEFAULT 0,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Step 4: Start Server

• Download server package from https://github.com/alibaba/fescar/releases, unzip it.

sh fescar-server.sh $LISTEN_PORT $PATH_FOR_PERSISTENT_DATA

e.g.

sh fescar-server.sh 8091 /home/admin/fescar/data/

Step 5: Run example

Go to samples repo: Fescar-samples

• Start AccountService
• Start StorageService
• Start OrderService
• Run BusinessService for demo test

TBD: scripts for run demo applications
