Tutorial: Create an application with a Java API front-end service and a stateful back-end service on Azure Service Fabric

This tutorial is part one of a series. When you are finished, you have a Voting application with a Java web front end that saves voting results in a stateful back-end service on Azure Service Fabric. This tutorial series requires that you have a working Mac OSX or Linux developer machine. If you don't want to manually create the voting application, you can download the source code for the completed application and skip ahead to Walk through the voting sample application. Also, consider following the Quickstart for Java reliable services..

Service Fabric voting sample

In this tutorial series you learn how to:

In part one of the series, you learn how to:

  • Create a Java stateful reliable service
  • Create a Java stateless web application service
  • Use service remoting to communicate with the stateful service
  • Deploy application on a local Service Fabric cluster

Prerequisites

Before you begin this tutorial:

  • If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a trial account.
  • Set up your development environment for Mac or Linux. Follow the instructions to install the Eclipse plug-in, Gradle, the Service Fabric SDK, and the Service Fabric CLI (sfctl).

Create the front-end Java stateless service

First, create the web front end of the Voting application. A web UI powered by AngularJS sends requests to the Java stateless service, which runs a lightweight HTTP server. This service processes each request and sends a remote procedure call to the stateful service to store the votes.

  1. Open Eclipse.

  2. Create a project with File > New > Other > Service Fabric > Service Fabric Project.

    New Service Fabric project in Eclipse

  3. In the ServiceFabric Project Wizard dialog, name the Project Voting and select Next.

    Choosing Java stateless service in the new service dialog

  4. On the Add Service page, select Stateless Service, and name your service VotingWeb. Select Finish to create the project.

    Create a stateless service for your Service Fabric project

    Eclipse creates an application and a service project and displays them in Package Explorer.

    Eclipse Package Explorer following creation of application

The table gives a short description of each item in the package explorer from the previous screenshot.

Package Explorer Item Description
PublishProfiles Contains JSON files describing profile details of local and Azure Service Fabric clusters. The contents of these files is used by the plugin when deploying the application.
Scripts Contains helper scripts that can be used from the command line to quickly manage your application with a cluster.
VotingApplication Contains the Service Fabric application that is pushed to the Service Fabric cluster.
VotingWeb Contains the front-end stateless service source files along with the related gradle build file.
build.gradle Gradle file used to manage the project.
settings.gradle Contains names of Gradle projects in this folder.

Add HTML and Javascript to the VotingWeb service

To add a UI that can be rendered by the stateless service, add an HTML file. This HTML file is then rendered by the lightweight HTTP server embedded into the stateless Java service.

  1. Expand the VotingApplication directory to reach the VotingApplication/VotingWebPkg/Code directory.

  2. Right-click on the Code directory and select New > Folder.

  3. Name the folder wwwroot and select Finish.

    Eclipse create wwwroot folder

  4. Add a file to the wwwroot called index.html and paste the following contents into this file.

Update the VotingWeb.java file

In the VotingWeb subproject, open the VotingWeb/src/statelessservice/VotingWeb.java file. The VotingWeb service is the gateway into the stateless service and is responsible for setting up the communication listener for the front-end API.

Replace the existing createServiceInstanceListeners method in the file with the following and save your changes.

@Override
protected List<ServiceInstanceListener> createServiceInstanceListeners() {

    EndpointResourceDescription endpoint = this.getServiceContext().getCodePackageActivationContext().getEndpoint(webEndpointName);
    int port = endpoint.getPort();

    List<ServiceInstanceListener> listeners = new ArrayList<ServiceInstanceListener>();
    listeners.add(new ServiceInstanceListener((context) -> new HttpCommunicationListener(context, port)));
    return listeners;
}

Add the HTTPCommunicationListener.java file

The HTTP communication listener acts as a controller that sets up the HTTP server and exposes the APIs defining voting actions. Right-click on the statelessservice package in the VotingWeb/src/statelessservice folder, then select New > File. Name the file HttpCommunicationListener.java and select Finish.

Replace the file contents with the following, then save your changes. Later, in Update the HttpCommunicationListener.java file, this file is modified to render, read, and write voting data from the back-end service. For now, the listener simply returns the static HTML for the Voting app.

    @Override
    public void abort() {
        this.stop();

Configure the listening port

When the VotingWeb service front-end service is created, Service Fabric selects a port for the service to listen on. The VotingWeb service acts as the front end for this application and accepts external traffic, so let's bind that service to a fixed and well-know port. In Package Explorer, open VotingApplication/VotingWebPkg/ServiceManifest.xml. Find the Endpoint resource in the Resources section and change the Port value to 8080 (we'll continue using this port throughout the tutorial). To deploy and run the application locally, the application listening port must be open and available on your computer. Paste the following code snippet within the ServiceManifest element (i.e. just below the <DataPackage> element).

<Resources>
    <Endpoints>
        <!-- This endpoint is used by the communication listener to obtain the port on which to
            listen. Please note that if your service is partitioned, this port is shared with
            replicas of different partitions that are placed in your code. -->

        <Endpoint Name="WebEndpoint" Protocol="http" Port="8080" />
    </Endpoints>
  </Resources>

Add a stateful back-end service to your application

Now that the skeleton of the Java Web API service is complete, let's go ahead and complete the stateful back-end service.

Service Fabric allows you to consistently and reliably store your data right inside your service by using reliable collections. Reliable collections are a set of highly available and reliable collection classes. The usage of these classes is familiar to anyone who has used Java collections.

  1. In Package Explorer, right-click Voting within the application project and select Service Fabric > Add Service Fabric Service.

  2. In the Add Service dialog, select Stateful Service and name the service VotingDataService and select Add Service.

    Once your service project is created, you have two services in your application. As you continue to build your application, you can add more services in the same way. Each can be independently versioned and upgraded.

  3. Eclipse creates a service project and displays it in Package Explorer.

    Eclipse Project Explorer

Add the VotingDataService.java file

The VotingDataService.java file contains the methods that contain logic to retrieve, add, and remove votes from the reliable collections. Add the following VotingDataService class methods to the VotingDataService/src/statefulservice/VotingDataService.java file.

            tx.close();

            status.set(1);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return CompletableFuture.completedFuture(new Integer(status.get()));
    }

}

The skeleton for the front-end stateless service and the backend service is now created.

Create the communication interface to your application

The next step is connecting the front-end stateless service and the backend service. Both the services utilize an interface called the VotingRPC that defines the operations of the Voting application. This interface is implemented by both the front-end and back-end services to enable remote procedure calls (RPC) between the two services. Unfortunately, Eclipse does not support the adding of Gradle subprojects, so the package that contains this interface has to be added manually.

  1. Right-click on the Voting project in the Package Explorer and select New > Folder. Name the folder VotingRPC/src/rpcmethods.

    Create VotingRPC package in Eclipse Package Explorer

  2. Create a file under Voting/VotingRPC/src/rpcmethods named VotingRPC.java and paste the following inside the VotingRPC.java file.

    package rpcmethods;
    
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.HashMap;
    
    import microsoft.servicefabric.services.remoting.Service;
    
    public interface VotingRPC extends Service {
        CompletableFuture<HashMap<String, String>> getList();
    
        CompletableFuture<Integer> addItem(String itemToAdd);
    
        CompletableFuture<Integer> removeItem(String itemToRemove);
    }
    
  3. Create an empty file named build.gradle in the Voting/VotingRPC directory and paste the following inside it. This gradle file is used to build and create the jar file that is imported by the other services.

    apply plugin: 'java'
    apply plugin: 'eclipse'
    
    sourceSets {
      main {
         java.srcDirs = ['src']
         output.classesDir = 'out/classes'
          resources {
           srcDirs = ['src']
         }
       }
    }
    
    clean.doFirst {
        delete "${projectDir}/out"
        delete "${projectDir}/VotingRPC.jar"
    }
    
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    
    dependencies {
        compile ('com.microsoft.servicefabric:sf-actors:1.0.0')
    }
    
    jar {
        from configurations.compile.collect {
            (it.isDirectory() && !it.getName().contains("native")) ? it : zipTree(it)}
    
        manifest {
                attributes(
                'Main-Class': 'rpcmethods.VotingRPC')
            baseName "VotingRPC"
            destinationDir = file('./')
        }
    
        exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA', 'META-INF/*.SF','META-INF/*.DSA'
    }
    
    defaultTasks 'clean', 'jar'
    
  4. In the Voting/settings.gradle file, add a line to include the newly created project in the build.

    include ':VotingRPC'
    
  5. In the Voting/VotingWeb/src/statelessservice/HttpCommunicationListener.java file, replace the comment block with the following.

    server.createContext("/getStatelessList", new HttpHandler() {
        @Override
        public void handle(HttpExchange t) {
            try {
                t.sendResponseHeaders(STATUS_OK,0);
                OutputStream os = t.getResponseBody();
    
                HashMap<String,String> list = ServiceProxyBase.create(VotingRPC.class, new URI("fabric:/VotingApplication/VotingDataService"), partitionKey, TargetReplicaSelector.DEFAULT, "").getList().get();
                String json = new Gson().toJson(list);
                os.write(json.getBytes(ENCODING));
                os.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                logger.log(Level.WARNING, null, e);
            }
        }
    });
    
    server.createContext("/removeItem", new HttpHandler() {
        @Override
        public void handle(HttpExchange t) {
            try {
                OutputStream os = t.getResponseBody();
                URI r = t.getRequestURI();
    
                Map<String, String> params = queryToMap(r.getQuery());
                String itemToRemove = params.get("item");
    
                Integer num = ServiceProxyBase.create(VotingRPC.class, new URI("fabric:/VotingApplication/VotingDataService"), partitionKey, TargetReplicaSelector.DEFAULT, "").removeItem(itemToRemove).get();
    
                if (num != 1)
                {
                    t.sendResponseHeaders(STATUS_ERROR, 0);
                } else {
                    t.sendResponseHeaders(STATUS_OK,0);
                }
    
                String json = new Gson().toJson(num);
                os.write(json.getBytes(ENCODING));
                os.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                logger.log(Level.WARNING, null, e);
            }
    
        }
    });
    
    server.createContext("/addItem", new HttpHandler() {
        @Override
        public void handle(HttpExchange t) {
            try {
                URI r = t.getRequestURI();
                Map<String, String> params = queryToMap(r.getQuery());
                String itemToAdd = params.get("item");
    
                OutputStream os = t.getResponseBody();
                Integer num = ServiceProxyBase.create(VotingRPC.class, new URI("fabric:/VotingApplication/VotingDataService"), partitionKey, TargetReplicaSelector.DEFAULT, "").addItem(itemToAdd).get();
                if (num != 1)
                {
                    t.sendResponseHeaders(STATUS_ERROR, 0);
                } else {
                    t.sendResponseHeaders(STATUS_OK,0);
                }
    
                String json = new Gson().toJson(num);
                os.write(json.getBytes(ENCODING));
                os.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                logger.log(Level.WARNING, null, e);
            }
        }
    });
    
  6. Add the appropriate import statement at the top of the Voting/VotingWeb/src/statelessservice/HttpCommunicationListener.java file.

    import rpcmethods.VotingRPC; 
    

At this stage, the functionality for the front end, backend, and RPC interfaces are complete. The next stage is to configure the Gradle scripts appropriately before deploying to a Service Fabric cluster.

Walk through the voting sample application

The voting application consists of two services:

  • Web front-end service (VotingWeb)- A Java web front-end service that serves the web page and exposes APIs to communicate with the backend service.
  • Back-end service (VotingDataService) - A Java web service, which defines methods that are invoked via Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) to persist votes.

Voting sample diagram

When you perform an action in the application (add item, vote, remove item) the following events occur:

  1. A JavaScript sends the appropriate request to the web API in the web front-end service as an HTTP request.

  2. The web front-end service uses the built-in Service Remoting functionality of Service Fabric to locate and forward the request to the back-end service.

  3. The back-end service defines methods that update the result in a reliable dictionary. The contents of this reliable dictionary get replicated to multiple nodes within the cluster and persisted on disk. All the application's data is stored in the cluster.

Configure Gradle scripts

In this section, the Gradle scripts for the project are configured.

  1. Replace the contents of the Voting/build.gradle file with the following.

    apply plugin: 'java'
    apply plugin: 'eclipse'
    
    subprojects {
        apply plugin: 'java'
    }
    
    defaultTasks 'clean', 'jar', 'copyDeps'
    
  2. Replace the contents of Voting/VotingWeb/build.gradle file with the following.

    apply plugin: 'java'
    apply plugin: 'eclipse'
    
    sourceSets {
      main {
         java.srcDirs = ['src']
         output.classesDir = 'out/classes'
          resources {
           srcDirs = ['src']
         }
       }
    }
    
    clean.doFirst {
        delete "${projectDir}/../lib"
        delete "${projectDir}/out"
        delete "${projectDir}/../VotingApplication/VotingWebPkg/Code/lib"
        delete "${projectDir}/../VotingApplication/VotingWebPkg/Code/VotingWeb.jar"
    }
    
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    
    dependencies {
        compile ('com.microsoft.servicefabric:sf-actors:1.0.0-preview1')
        compile project(':VotingRPC')
    }
    
    task explodeDeps(type: Copy, dependsOn:configurations.compile) { task ->
        configurations.compile.filter {!it.toString().contains("native")}.each{
            from it
        }
    
        configurations.compile.filter {it.toString().contains("native")}.each{
            from zipTree(it)
        }
        into "../lib/"
        include "lib*.so", "*.jar"
    }
    
    task copyDeps<< {
        copy {
            from("../lib/")
            into("../VotingApplication/VotingWebPkg/Code/lib")
            include('lib*.so')
        }
    }
    
    compileJava.dependsOn(explodeDeps)
    
    jar {
        from configurations.compile.collect {(it.isDirectory() && !it.getName().contains("native")) ? it : zipTree(it)}
    
        manifest {
            attributes(
                'Main-Class': 'statelessservice.VotingWebServiceHost')
            baseName "VotingWeb"
            destinationDir = file('../VotingApplication/VotingWebPkg/Code/')
        }
    
        exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA', 'META-INF/*.SF','META-INF/*.DSA'
    }
    
    defaultTasks 'clean', 'jar', 'copyDeps'
    
  3. Replace the contents of Voting/VotingDataService/build.gradle file.

    apply plugin: 'java'
    apply plugin: 'eclipse'
    
    sourceSets {
      main {
         java.srcDirs = ['src']
         output.classesDir = 'out/classes'
          resources {
           srcDirs = ['src']
         }
       }
    }
    
    clean.doFirst {
        delete "${projectDir}/../lib"
        delete "${projectDir}/out"
        delete "${projectDir}/../VotingApplication/VotingDataServicePkg/Code/lib"
        delete "${projectDir}/../VotingApplication/VotingDataServicePkg/Code/VotingDataService.jar"
    }
    
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    
    dependencies {
        compile ('com.microsoft.servicefabric:sf-actors:1.0.0-preview1')
        compile project(':VotingRPC')
    }
    
    task explodeDeps(type: Copy, dependsOn:configurations.compile) { task ->
        configurations.compile.filter {!it.toString().contains("native")}.each{
            from it
        }
    
        configurations.compile.filter {it.toString().contains("native")}.each{
            from zipTree(it)
        }
        into "../lib/"
        include "lib*.so", "*.jar"
    }
    
    compileJava.dependsOn(explodeDeps)
    
    task copyDeps<< {
        copy {
            from("../lib/")
            into("../VotingApplication/VotingDataServicePkg/Code/lib")
            include('lib*.so')
        }
    }
    
    jar {
        from configurations.compile.collect {
            (it.isDirectory() && !it.getName().contains("native")) ? it : zipTree(it)}
    
        manifest {
            attributes('Main-Class': 'statefulservice.VotingDataServiceHost')
    
            baseName "VotingDataService"
            destinationDir = file('../VotingApplication/VotingDataServicePkg/Code/')
        }
    
        exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA', 'META-INF/*.SF','META-INF/*.DSA'
    }
    
    defaultTasks 'clean', 'jar', 'copyDeps'
    

Deploy application to local cluster

At this point, the application is ready to be deployed to a local Service Fabric cluster.

  1. Right-click on the Voting project in the Package Explorer and select Service Fabric > Build Application to build your application.

  2. Run your local Service Fabric cluster. This step depends on your development environment (Mac or Linux).

    If you are using a Mac, you run the local cluster with the following command: Replace the command passed into the -v parameter with the path to your own workspace.

    docker run -itd -p 19080:19080 -p 8080:8080 -p --name sfonebox mcr.microsoft.com/service-fabric/onebox:latest
    

    See more detailed instructions in the OS X setup guide.

    If you are running on a Linux machine, you start the local cluster with the following command:

    sudo /opt/microsoft/sdk/servicefabric/common/clustersetup/devclustersetup.sh
    

    See more detailed instructions in the Linux setup guide.

  3. In the Package Explorer for Eclipse, right-click on the Voting project and select Service Fabric > Publish Application

  4. In the Publish Application window, select Local.json from the dropdown, and select Publish.

  5. Go to your web browser and access http://localhost:8080 to view your running application on the local Service Fabric cluster.
