Running a Thrift server inside Tomcat.
Hi,
I want to run a Thrift server inside Apache Tomcat server.
As for now, I implemented a Thrift Server and tested it with clients
.*But, I want to know wether there is a way to deploy a Thrift Server
inside
Tomcat? .*
*If not, is there a way to run a Thrift server inside a servlet deployed in
Tomcat?.*
I tried doing that by calling the Thrift Server inside the init() method
of the servlet. But, didn't work. I use Eclipse IDE in my development work
and configured Tomcat to run from Eclipse.
Thanks,
Denuwanthi

Thanks for the details.
I already tried using a ThriftServlet as the server side implementation.It
works fine. I am keeping it as an option too. Meanwhile I am getting
familiar with Spring framework to create a Thrift Server inside the
container (Tomcat), as you have pointed out.
Thanks,
Denuwanthi

Oh yeah, there is another trick you can do if you want to serve out
Thrift JSON from Tomcat, or any other container.I expose the
Binary/Framed thrift connection for C++ clients, but for javascript
clients you can wrap your thrift server side implementation in a servet.
https://github.com/sqlboy/plow/blob/master/server/src/main/java/com/breakersoft/plow/thrift/ThriftServlet.java
Then you get free Json over HTTP with about 10 lines of extra code. That
example uses spring (sorry) but there is a wiki page with an example of
exactly your stack here.

The fact it has a @Configuration annotation means that the Spring
framework automatically creates an instance of it. Since your not using
spring, you have to wire all that stuff up on your own.
Here are the basics of how the IoC stuff works in spring though.

my way is to define and start a thrift server inside a spring bean. So the
thrift server is initialized during tomcat startup.but as the thrift server
is on another port, it is kind unnecessary to put it onto tomcat. (Plus the
embedded thrift server won't be restarted when you are deploying a new war
file, which is annoying. ) It is better to keep it away from tomcat.

Thanks for the information.
As I understood, your ServerConfiguration.java class is where the
ThriftServer gets invoked.
Can you please tell me how/where is the
https://github.com/sqlboy/plow/blob/master/server/src/main/java/com/breakersoft/plow/thrift/ServerConfiguration.java
class is invoked?

Doesn't really matter what servlet container you are using, you do it
pretty much the same way. Since starting the server blocks you have to
start it in a thread.
Here is an example using Spring I did a long time ago, I'd probably do
an anonymous runnable if I did it again.
https://github.com/sqlboy/plow/blob/master/server/src/main/java/com/breakersoft/plow/thrift/ThriftServer.java
https://github.com/sqlboy/plow/blob/master/server/src/main/java/com/breakersoft/plow/thrift/ServerConfiguration.java
A non spring example would just initialize and wrap the serve() function
in a thread.
