  34. // DEPRECATED: This module declares the abstract interfaces underlying proto2
  35. // RPC services. These are intented to be independent of any particular RPC
  36. // implementation, so that proto2 services can be used on top of a variety
  37. // of implementations. Starting with version 2.3.0, RPC implementations should
  38. // not try to build on these, but should instead provide code generator plugins
  39. // which generate code specific to the particular RPC implementation. This way
  40. // the generated code can be more appropriate for the implementation in use
  41. // and can avoid unnecessary layers of indirection.
  42. //
  43. //
  44. // When you use the protocol compiler to compile a service definition, it
  45. // generates two classes: An abstract interface for the service (with
  46. // methods matching the service definition) and a "stub" implementation.
  47. // A stub is just a type-safe wrapper around an RpcChannel which emulates a
  48. // local implementation of the service.
  49. //
  50. // For example, the service definition:
  51. // service MyService {
  52. // rpc Foo(MyRequest) returns(MyResponse);
  53. // }
  54. // will generate abstract interface "MyService" and class "MyService::Stub".
  55. // You could implement a MyService as follows:
  56. // class MyServiceImpl : public MyService {
  57. // public:
  58. // MyServiceImpl() {}
  59. // ~MyServiceImpl() {}
  60. //
  61. // // implements MyService ---------------------------------------
  62. //
  63. // void Foo(google::protobuf::RpcController* controller,
  64. // const MyRequest* request,
  65. // MyResponse* response,
  66. // Closure* done) {
  67. // // ... read request and fill in response ...
  68. // done->Run();
  69. // }
  70. // };
  71. // You would then register an instance of MyServiceImpl with your RPC server
  72. // implementation. (How to do that depends on the implementation.)
  73. //
  74. // To call a remote MyServiceImpl, first you need an RpcChannel connected to it.
  75. // How to construct a channel depends, again, on your RPC implementation.
  76. // Here we use a hypothetical "MyRpcChannel" as an example:
  77. // MyRpcChannel channel("rpc:hostname:1234/myservice");
  78. // MyRpcController controller;
  79. // MyServiceImpl::Stub stub(&channel);
  80. // FooRequest request;
  81. // FooResponse response;
  82. //
  83. // // ... fill in request ...
  84. //
  85. // stub.Foo(&controller, request, &response, NewCallback(HandleResponse));
  86. //
  87. // On Thread-Safety:
  88. //
  89. // Different RPC implementations may make different guarantees about what
  90. // threads they may run callbacks on, and what threads the application is
  91. // allowed to use to call the RPC system. Portable software should be ready
  92. // for callbacks to be called on any thread, but should not try to call the
  93. // RPC system from any thread except for the ones on which it received the
  94. // callbacks. Realistically, though, simple software will probably want to
  95. // use a single-threaded RPC system while high-end software will want to
  96. // use multiple threads. RPC implementations should provide multiple
  97. // choices.
