Features

• This article is a guide about how to integrate Spring Cloud with soul gateway quickly.
• Please enable springCloud plug-in in soul-admin background.
• Please start soul-admin successfully before integrating and Environment Setup is Ok.

Configure soul gateway as Spring Cloud proxy

• add these dependencies in gateway's pom.xml:

<!--soul springCloud plugin start-->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.dromara</groupId>
    <artifactId>soul-spring-boot-starter-plugin-springcloud</artifactId>
    <version>${last.version}</version>
</dependency>
 <!--soul springCloud plugin end-->

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-commons</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency> 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-ribbon</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

• If you use eureka as SpringCloud registry center.

  • add these dependencies:

  <dependency>
       <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
       <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
       <version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
  </dependency>

• add these config values in gateway's yaml file:

   eureka:
     client:
       serviceUrl:
         defaultZone: http://localhost:8761/eureka/ #your eureka address
     instance:
       prefer-ip-address: true

• if you use nacos as Spring Cloud registry center.

  • add these dependencies:

 <dependency>
       <groupId>com.alibaba.cloud</groupId>
       <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-alibaba-nacos-discovery</artifactId>
       <version>2.1.0.RELEASE</version>
 </dependency>

• add these config values in gateway's yaml file:

  spring:
     cloud:
       nacos:
         discovery:
            server-addr: 127.0.0.1:8848 # your nacos address

• restart your gateway service.

SpringCloud integration with gateway

• add these dependencies in your project：

 <dependency>
      <groupId>org.dromara</groupId>
      <artifactId>soul-spring-boot-starter-client-springcloud</artifactId>
      <version>${last.version}</version>
 </dependency>

• backend server register center config, please look:register center access.

• add the annotation @SoulSpringCloudClient in your controller interface.

• you can apply the annotation to class-level in a controller.the name of the path variable is prefix and ‘/**’ will apply proxy for entire interfaces.

  • example （1）：both /test/payment and /test/findByUserId will be handled by gateway.

 @RestController
 @RequestMapping("/test")
 @SoulSpringCloudClient(path = "/test/**")
 public class HttpTestController {
     
     @PostMapping("/payment")
     public UserDTO post(@RequestBody final UserDTO userDTO) {
         return userDTO;
     }
     
     @GetMapping("/findByUserId")
     public UserDTO findByUserId(@RequestParam("userId") final String userId) {
         UserDTO userDTO = new UserDTO();
         userDTO.setUserId(userId);
         userDTO.setUserName("hello world");
         return userDTO;
     }    
  }

• example （2）：/order/save will be handled by gateway, and /order/findById won't.

 @RestController
 @RequestMapping("/order")
 @SoulSpringCloudClient(path = "/order")
 public class OrderController {
 
     @PostMapping("/save")
     @SoulSpringMvcClient(path = "/save")
     public OrderDTO save(@RequestBody final OrderDTO orderDTO) {
         orderDTO.setName("hello world save order");
         return orderDTO;
     }

     @GetMapping("/findById")
     public OrderDTO findById(@RequestParam("id") final String id) {
         OrderDTO orderDTO = new OrderDTO();
         orderDTO.setId(id);
         orderDTO.setName("hello world findById");
         return orderDTO;
     }
 }

• start your service, get the log dubbo client register success, then your interface has been added with soul gateway successfully.

Plugin Setting

• enable Spring Cloud plugin in soul-admin.

User Request

• Send the request as before, only two points need to notice.

• firstly，the domain name that requested before in your service, now need to replace with gateway's domain name.

• secondly，soul gateway needs a route prefix which comes from contextPath, it configured during the integration with gateway, you can change it freely in divide plugin of soul-admin, if your familiar with it.

# for example, your have an order service and it has a interface, the request url: http://localhost:8080/test/save

# now need to change to：http://localhost:9195/order/test/save

# we can see localhost:9195 is the gateway's ip port, default port number is 9195 ，/order is the contextPath in your config yaml file. 

# the request of other parameters don't change.

# Any questions, pls join the group and we can talk about it.

• Then you can visit, very easy and simple.
