public class NettyPipelineInboundExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventLoopGroup group = new NioEventLoopGroup(1);
        ServerBootstrap strap = new ServerBootstrap();
        strap.group(group)
                .channel(NioServerSocketChannel.class)
                .localAddress(new InetSocketAddress(8888))
                .childOption(ChannelOption.TCP_NODELAY, true)
                .childHandler(new ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel>() {
                    @Override
                    protected void initChannel(SocketChannel ch) throws Exception {
                        ch.pipeline().addLast(new InboundHandlerA());
                        ch.pipeline().addLast(new InboundHandlerB());
                        ch.pipeline().addLast(new InboundHandlerC());
                    }
                });
        try {
            ChannelFuture future = strap.bind().sync();
            future.channel().closeFuture().sync();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            group.shutdownGracefully();
        }
    }
}

class InboundHandlerA extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("InboundHandler A : " + msg);
        // 传播read事件到下一个channelhandler
        ctx.fireChannelRead(msg);
    }

}

class InboundHandlerB extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("InboundHandler B : " + msg);
        // 传播read事件到下一个channelhandler
        ctx.fireChannelRead(msg);
    }

    @Override
    public void channelActive(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
        // channel激活，触发channelRead事件，从pipeline的heandContext节点开始往下传播
        ctx.channel().pipeline().fireChannelRead("Hello world");
    }
}

class InboundHandlerC extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("InboundHandler C : " + msg);
        // 传播read事件到下一个channelhandler
        ctx.fireChannelRead(msg);
    }
}

源码

通过 telnet 来连接上面启动好的netty服务，触发channel active事件：

1
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 8888

按照InboundHandlerA、InboundHandlerB、InboundHandlerC的添加顺序，控制台输出如下信息：

1
2
3
InboundHandler A : Hello world
InboundHandler B : Hello world
InboundHandler C : Hello world

若是调用它们的添加顺序，则会输出对应顺序的信息，e.g:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
...

ch.pipeline().addLast(new InboundHandlerB());
ch.pipeline().addLast(new InboundHandlerA());
ch.pipeline().addLast(new InboundHandlerC());

...

输出如下信息：

1
2
3
InboundHandler B : Hello world
InboundHandler A : Hello world
InboundHandler C : Hello world

源码分析

强烈建议 下面的流程，自己通过IDE的Debug模式来分析

待netty启动成功，通过telnet连接到netty，然后通过telnet终端输入任意字符（这一步才开启Debug模式），进入Debug模式。

触发channel read事件，从下面的入口开始调用

public class DefaultChannelPipeline implements ChannelPipeline {

    // 出发channel read事件
	@Override
    public final ChannelPipeline fireChannelRead(Object msg) {
        // 从head节点开始往下传播read事件
        AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(head, msg);
        return this;
    }
	
	...

}

调用 AbstractChannelHandlerContext 中的 invokeChannelRead(head, msg) 接口：

abstract class AbstractChannelHandlerContext extends DefaultAttributeMap
        implements ChannelHandlerContext, ResourceLeakHint {

	...

	// 调用channel read
    static void invokeChannelRead(final AbstractChannelHandlerContext next, Object msg) {
        // 获取消息
        final Object m = next.pipeline.touch(ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(msg, "msg"), next);
        // 获取 EventExecutor
        EventExecutor executor = next.executor();
        // true
        if (executor.inEventLoop()) {
        	// 调用下面的invokeChannelRead接口：invokeChannelRead(Object msg)
            next.invokeChannelRead(m);
        } else {
            executor.execute(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    next.invokeChannelRead(m);
                }
            });
        }
    }
    
    private void invokeChannelRead(Object msg) {
        if (invokeHandler()) {
            try {
            	// handler():获取当前遍历到的channelHandler，第一个为HeandContext，最后为TailContext
            	// 调用channel handler的channelRead接口
                ((ChannelInboundHandler) handler()).channelRead(this, msg);
            } catch (Throwable t) {
                notifyHandlerException(t);
            }
        } else {
            fireChannelRead(msg);
        }
    }
    
    ...
	
    @Override
    public ChannelHandlerContext fireChannelRead(final Object msg) {
        // 调回到上面的 invokeChannelRead(final AbstractChannelHandlerContext next, Object msg)
        invokeChannelRead(findContextInbound(), msg);
        return this;
    }
    
    ...
    
    // 遍历出下一个ChannelHandler
    private AbstractChannelHandlerContext findContextInbound() {
        AbstractChannelHandlerContext ctx = this;
        do {
        	//获取下一个inbound类型的节点
            ctx = ctx.next;
            // 必须为inbound类型
        } while (!ctx.inbound);
        return ctx;
    }
    
    ...
}

Pipeline中的第一个节点为HeadContext，它对于channelRead事件的处理，是直接往下传播，代码如下：

1
2
3
4
5

9
10
11
12
13
final class HeadContext extends AbstractChannelHandlerContext
	
	...
	
	@Override
    public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
    	// HeadContext往下传播channelRead事件，
   		// 调用HeandlerContext中的接口：fireChannelRead(final Object msg)
    	ctx.fireChannelRead(msg);
    }
	
	...
}

就这样一直循环下去，依次会调用到 InboundHandlerA、InboundHandlerB、InboundHandlerC 中的 channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) 接口。

到最后一个TailContext节点，它对channelRead事件的处理如下：

public class DefaultChannelPipeline implements ChannelPipeline {
	    
    final class TailContext extends AbstractChannelHandlerContext implements ChannelInboundHandler {
		
        ...
		        
        @Override
        public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
            // 调用onUnhandledInboundMessage接口
            onUnhandledInboundMessage(msg);
        }      

        ...

    }
	
	...
    
    // 对未处理inbound消息做最后的处理
	protected void onUnhandledInboundMessage(Object msg) {
        try {
            logger.debug("Discarded inbound message {} that reached at the tail of the pipeline. Please check your pipeline configuration.", msg);
        } finally {
            // 对msg对象的引用数减1，当msg对象的引用数为0时，释放该对象的内存
            ReferenceCountUtil.release(msg);
        }
    }
    
    ...
   
}

以上就是pipeline对inBound消息的处理流程。

SimpleChannelInboundHandler

在前面的例子中，假如中间有一个ChannelHandler未对channelRead事件进行传播，就会导致消息对象无法得到释放，最终导致内存泄露。

我们还可以继承 SimpleChannelInboundHandler 来自定义ChannelHandler，它的channelRead方法，对消息对象做了msg处理，防止内存泄露。

        boolean release = true;
        try {
            if (acceptInboundMessage(msg)) {
                @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                I imsg = (I) msg;
                channelRead0(ctx, imsg);
            } else {
                release = false;
                ctx.fireChannelRead(msg);
            }
        } finally {
            if (autoRelease && release) {
                // 对msg对象的引用数减1，当msg对象的引用数为0时，释放该对象的内存
                ReferenceCountUtil.release(msg);
            }
        }
    }
    
    ...
    
}

        strap.group(group)
                .channel(NioServerSocketChannel.class)
                .localAddress(new InetSocketAddress(8888))
                .childOption(ChannelOption.TCP_NODELAY, true)
                .childHandler(new ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel>() {
                    @Override
                    protected void initChannel(SocketChannel ch) throws Exception {
                        ch.pipeline().addLast(new OutboundHandlerA());
                        ch.pipeline().addLast(new OutboundHandlerB());
                        ch.pipeline().addLast(new OutboundHandlerC());
                    }
                });
        try {
            ChannelFuture future = strap.bind().sync();
            future.channel().closeFuture().sync();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            group.shutdownGracefully();
        }
    }
}

class OutboundHandlerA extends ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void write(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg, ChannelPromise promise) throws Exception {
        // 输出消息
        System.out.println("OutboundHandlerA: " + msg);
        // 传播write事件到下一个节点
        ctx.write(msg, promise);
    }
}

class OutboundHandlerB extends ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void write(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg, ChannelPromise promise) throws Exception {
        // 输出消息
        System.out.println("OutboundHandlerB: " + msg);
        // 传播write事件到下一个节点
        ctx.write(msg, promise);
    }
	
    
    @Override
    public void handlerAdded(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
        // 待handlerAdded事件触发3s后，模拟触发一个
        ctx.executor().schedule(() -> {
//            ctx.write("Hello world ! ");
            ctx.channel().write("Hello world ! ");
        }, 3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    }
}

class OutboundHandlerC extends ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void write(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg, ChannelPromise promise) throws Exception {
        // 输出消息
        System.out.println("OutboundHandlerC: " + msg);
        // 传播write事件到下一个节点
        ctx.write(msg, promise);
    }
}

源码

通过 telnet 来连接上面启动好的netty服务，触发channel added事件：

1
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 8888

按照OutboundHandlerA、OutboundHandlerB、OutboundHandlerC的添加顺序，控制台输出如下信息：

1
2
3
OutboundHandlerC: Hello world ! 
OutboundHandlerB: Hello world ! 
OutboundHandlerA: Hello world !

输出的顺序正好与ChannelHandler的添加顺序相反。

若是调用它们的添加顺序，则会输出对应顺序的信息，e.g:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
...

ch.pipeline().addLast(new InboundHandlerB());
ch.pipeline().addLast(new InboundHandlerA());
ch.pipeline().addLast(new InboundHandlerC());

...

输出如下信息：

1
2
3
OutboundHandlerC: Hello world ! 
OutboundHandlerA: Hello world ! 
OutboundHandlerB: Hello world !

源码分析

强烈建议 下面的流程，自己通过IDE的Debug模式来分析

从channel的write方法开始，往下传播write事件：

11
12
13
public abstract class AbstractChannel extends DefaultAttributeMap implements Channel {

	...

    @Override
    public ChannelFuture write(Object msg) {
        // 调用pipeline往下传播wirte事件
        return pipeline.write(msg);
    }
    
    ...

}

接着来看看Pipeline中的write接口：

public class DefaultChannelPipeline implements ChannelPipeline {
    
    ...
    
    @Override
    public final ChannelFuture write(Object msg) {
        // 从tail节点开始传播
        return tail.write(msg);
    }
    
    ...    

}

    ...    
        
}

最终会调用到HeadContext的write接口：

1
2
3
4
5
@Override
public void write(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg, ChannelPromise promise) throws Exception {
    // 调用unsafe进行写数据操作
    unsafe.write(msg, promise);
}

异常传播

了解了Pipeline的入站与出站事件的机制之后，我们再来看看Pipeline的异常处理机制。

}

源码

通过 telnet 来连接上面启动好的netty服务，并在控制台发送任意字符：

1
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 8888

触发channel read事件并抛出异常，控制台输出如下信息：

1
2
3
4
5
InboundHandlerB.exceptionCaught:ERROR !!!
InboundHandlerC.exceptionCaught:ERROR !!!
OutboundHandlerA.exceptionCaught:ERROR !!!
OutboundHandlerB.exceptionCaught:ERROR !!!
OutboundHandlerC.exceptionCaught:ERROR !!!

可以看到异常的捕获与我们添加的ChannelHandler顺序相同。

源码分析

在我们的示例中，InboundHandlerB的ChannelRead接口抛出异常，导致从InboundHandlerA将ChannelRead事件传播到InboundHandlerB的过程中出现异常，异常被捕获。

最终会调用到TailContext节点的exceptionCaught接口，如果我们中途没有对异常进行拦截处理，做会打印出一段警告信息！

                logger.warn(
                    "An exceptionCaught() event was fired, and it reached at the tail of the pipeline. " +
                    "It usually means the last handler in the pipeline did not handle the exception.",
                    cause);
            } finally {
                ReferenceCountUtil.release(cause);
            }
        }
    }    
    
    ...
    
}

在实际的应用中，一般会定一个ChannelHandler，放置Pipeline末尾，专门用来处理中途出现的各种异常。

最佳异常处理实践

单独定义ExceptionCaughtHandler来处理异常：

class ExceptionCaughtHandler extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void exceptionCaught(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Throwable cause) throws Exception {
        if (cause instanceof Exception) {
            // TODO
            System.out.println("Successfully caught exception ! ");
        } else {
            // TODO
        }
    }
}

...
    
ch.pipeline().addLast(new ExceptionCaughtHandler());

...

输出：

Successfully caught exception !  // 成功捕获日志

Pipeline回顾与总结

至此，我们对Pipeline的原理的解析就完成了。

  • Pipeline是在什么时候创建的？
  • Pipeline添加与删除节点的逻辑是怎么样的？
  • netty是如何判断ChannelHandler类型的？
  • 如何处理ChannelHandler中抛出的异常？
  • 对于ChannelHandler的添加应遵循什么样的顺序？
