DataSnap 有三种方式:
1、DataSnap REST Application: Create a DataSnap Server with support for REST Communication and with pages that invoke server methods using Java Script and JSON.
2、DataSnap Server: The DataSnap Server Wizard provides an easy way to implenent a server application using DataSnap technology.
3、DataSnap Webbroker Application: The DataSnap WebBroker Application Wizard provides an easy way to implenent a server application using both The WebBroker and DataSnap technology.
1方式是最新的也是主要的运用方式。只支持HTTP。有WebModule,有TDSHTTPWebDispatcher。
2方式传统的运用方式,支持TCP和HTTP。没有WebModule,TDSHTTPService代替了TDSHTTPWebDispatcher。
3方式和1方式类似,比较"原始",也比较灵活。只支持HTTP。
早期的DataSnap只有方式2和3,方式2只支持TCP传输的。方式3的运用要自己处理许多细节,所以方式3用的不多。
现在的方式2添加了HTTP支持,但是其实现方式不是直接通过WebModule来实现,而是转了个弯,通过桥接Indy的Http来实现。
因为方式2没有了TWebModule,所以和其它两种方式的区别比较大。
我们先来简要分析下方式2的流程,然后主要分析方式1的流程,方式3的流程类似方式1,就不做分析了。
DataSnap Server 流程:
向导生成时,选择支持TCP和HTTP服务。服务器是自动启动的,ServerContainerUnit1.ServerContainer1.DSServer1.AutoStart := True;
只要运行服务端程序,就可以开始提供服务。如果要手动启动,则设置:
ServerContainerUnit1.ServerContainer1.DSServer1.AutoStart := False;
启动:
ServerContainerUnit1.ServerContainer1.DSServer1.Start;
停止:
ServerContainerUnit1.ServerContainer1.DSServer1.Stop;
TCP通信流程不管,看看HTTP通信流程。
向导生成的ServerContainer单元,包含了TDSServer(服务控制组件),TDSServerClass(用于导出方法到客户端),TDSTCPServerTransport(用于TCP通信),TDSHTTPService(HTTP服务),以及其它的辅助组件,用的是TDataMudule:
当用TDataMudule时,如果要提供HTTP服务,肯定要提供一个WebDisptcher。
(见:Delphi Web Server 流程分析_看那山瞧那水的博客-CSDN博客)
TDSTCPServerTransport和TDSHTTPService都有一个Server属性,指向TDSServer。
当DSServer1.Start时,是如何启动HTTP服务的?
procedure TDSServer.Start;
begin
inherited;
// Add a DBX "driver" for the server component
TDBXDriverRegistry.RegisterDriverClass(Name, TDSServerDriver);
end;
这里没有什么,只是添加了DBX驱动,DATASNAP的TCP通信是通过DBX框架实现的。
类继承关系:
TDSServer->TDSCustomServer->TComponent:
procedure TDSCustomServer.Start;
begin
if not FStarted then
try
StartTransports;
FServerMethodProvider := TDSServerMethodProvider.Create;
FServerMethodProvider.Server := self;
FServerMethodProvider.Open;
FStarted := True;
finally
if not FStarted then
begin
StopTransports;
if FServerMethodProvider <> nil then
begin
FServerMethodProvider.Close;
FreeAndNil(FServerMethodProvider);
end;
end;
end;
end;
这里只看到关于TCP的组件,HTTP在哪里呢?
没找到,先看看TDSHTTPService的继承关系:
TDSHTTPService->TCustomDSHTTPServerTransport->TCustomDSRESTServerTransport->TDSServerTransport->TDSServerComponent->TComponent
好像和HTTP都没什么关系,和TDSServerTransport有关系,TCP的有个组件TDSTCPServerTransport,也看看它的继承关系
TDSTCPServerTransport->TDSServerTransport,看到了,TDSHTTPService和TDSTCPServerTransport都是TDSServerTransport的子类。
前面看到了,TDSServer.Start,要启动了TDSTCPServerTransport:
StartTransports:
procedure TDSCustomServer.StartTransports;
var
Transport: TDSServerTransport;
ServerComponent: TObject;
Index: Integer;
begin
for Index := 0 to FComponentList.Count - 1 do
begin
ServerComponent := FComponentList[Index];
if ServerComponent is TDSServerTransport then
begin
Transport := TDSServerTransport(ServerComponent);
Transport.DbxContext := FDbxContext;
Transport.Start;
end;
end;
end;
调用了TDSServerTransport.Start:
但是TDSServerTransport本身没有这个方法,其父类的Start:
procedure TDSServerComponent.Start;
begin
//
end;
哎,是空的,看来是子类实现。代码里的Transport是TDSServerTransport,是TDSTCPServerTransport的父类,这个方法肯定是在TDSTCPServerTransport:
procedure TDSTCPServerTransport.Start;
var
Scheduler: IIPSchedulerOfThreadPool;
LSocketHandle: IIPSocketHandle;
begin
inherited;
FTcpServer := CreateTcpServer;
FTcpServer.OnConnect := DoOnConnect;
FTcpServer.OnDisconnect := DoOnDisconnect;
FTcpServer.OnExecute := DoOnExecute;
FTcpServer.UseNagle := false;
FTcpServer.Bindings.Add.Port := FPort; //default IPv4
if GStackPeers(IPImplementationID).SupportsIPv6 then
begin
LSocketHandle := FTcpServer.Bindings.Add;
LSocketHandle.Port := FPort; //default IPv4
LSocketHandle.IPVersion := TIPVersionPeer.IP_IPv6
end;
Scheduler := PeerFactory.CreatePeer(IPImplementationID, IIPSchedulerOfThreadPool, FTCPServer.GetObject as TComponent) as IIPSchedulerOfThreadPool;
Scheduler.MaxThreads := MaxThreads;
Scheduler.PoolSize := PoolSize;
FTCPServer.Scheduler := Scheduler;
FTcpServer.Active := True;
end;
这里还是没有涉及到HTTP,回头看看TDSHTTPService这边,
TDSHTTPService->TCustomDSHTTPServerTransport->TCustomDSRESTServerTransport->TDSServerTransport 这中间某个肯定实现了和HTTP的挂钩。
TDSHTTPService.Start:
procedure TDSHTTPService.Start;
begin
inherited;
RequiresServer;
if Assigned(FHttpServer) then
begin
if FCertFiles <> nil then
FCertFiles.SetServerProperties(FHttpServer);
TDSHTTPServerIndy(FHttpServer).Active := True;
end;
end;
就是这个
RequiresServer()方法在父类TCustomDSRESTServerTransport,CreateRESTServer()在TCustomDSHTTPServerTransport,CreateHttpServer()在TDSHTTPService:
procedure TCustomDSRESTServerTransport.RequiresServer;
begin
if FRestServer = nil then
begin
FRESTServer := CreateRESTServer;
InitializeRESTServer;
end;
end;
function TCustomDSHTTPServerTransport.CreateRESTServer: TDSRESTServer;
begin
FHttpServer := CreateHttpServer;
Result := FHttpServer;
end;
function TDSHTTPService.CreateHttpServer: TDSHTTPServer;
var
LHTTPServer: TDSHTTPServerIndy;
begin
if Assigned(FCertFiles) then
LHTTPServer := TDSHTTPSServerIndy.Create(Self.Server, IPImplementationID)
else
LHTTPServer := TDSHTTPServerIndy.Create(Self.Server, IPImplementationID);
Result := LHTTPServer;
LHTTPServer.HTTPOtherContext := HTTPOtherContext;
end;
CreateHttpServer()方法里出现了TDSHTTPServerIndy,看看它是什么,前面的Start()里有这一行代码:
TDSHTTPServerIndy(FHttpServer).Active := True;
TDSHTTPServerIndy = class(TDSHTTPServer), 是TDSHTTPServer的子类,启动代码:
procedure TDSHTTPServerIndy.SetActive(const Value: Boolean);
begin
if Value and (FServer = nil) then
begin
FServer := PeerFactory.CreatePeer(FIPImplementationID, IIPHTTPServer, nil) as IIPHTTPServer;
InitializeServer;
end;
if FServer <> nil then
FServer.Active := Value;
end;
有个名称叫 PeerIP(本意是对等IP),INDY里一些组件采用多端口技术时,有2组参数:
IP 、Port:代表本地IP地址和端口;
PeerIP、PeerPort:代表远端IP地址和端口;
服务端可以向PeerIP和PeerPort回应数据,这里是HTTP服务端。
(PeerIP的技术原理还没搞明白)
支持IIPHTTPServer接口的实现在IPPeerServer.pas(路径:D:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\source\indy\implementation\IPPeerServer.pas)
部分代码:
TIdHTTPServerIP = class(TIdHTTPServer)
private
FSetDestroyedProc: procedure of object;
public
destructor Destroy; override;
end;
TIdHTTPServerPeer = class(TIdClassIP, IIPHTTPServer, IIPObject)
private
FHTTPServer: TIdHTTPServerIP;
FContexts: TDictionary
.....................................
FHTTPServer => FHTTPServer =>TIdHTTPServer
本质上也是一个HTTPSERVER,只是通过PeerIP技术来实现了。
procedure TDSHTTPServerIndy.InitializeServer;
begin
if FServer <> nil then
begin
FServer.UseNagle := False;
FServer.KeepAlive := True;
FServer.ServerSoftware := FServerSoftware;
FServer.DefaultPort := FDefaultPort;
FServer.OnCommandGet := Self.DoIndyCommand;
FServer.OnCommandOther := Self.DoIndyCommand;
end;
end;
procedure TDSHTTPServerIndy.DoIndyCommand(AContext: IIPContext; ARequestInfo: IIPHTTPRequestInfo;
AResponseInfo: IIPHTTPResponseInfo);
var
LContext: TDSHTTPContextIndy;
begin
LContext := TDSHTTPContextIndy.Create(AContext, ARequestInfo, AResponseInfo);
try
DoCommand(LContext, LContext.FRequest, LContext.FResponse);
finally
LContext.Free;
end;
end;
DoCommand()代码:
procedure TDSRESTServer.DoCommand(AContext: TDSHTTPContext; ARequestInfo: TDSHTTPRequest;
AResponseInfo: TDSHTTPResponse);
var
Request: string;
NextRequest: string;
NextContext: string;
RestCtxt: string;
StartDispatch: Boolean;
begin
// HTTPDispatch object if necessary
StartDispatch := not TDSHTTPApplication.Instance.Dispatching;
if StartDispatch then
TDSHTTPApplication.Instance.StartDispatch(AContext, ARequestInfo, AResponseInfo);
try
{$IFNDEF POSIX}
if CoInitFlags = -1 then
CoInitializeEx(nil, COINIT_MULTITHREADED)
else
CoInitializeEx(nil, CoInitFlags);
{$ENDIF}
try
// check for context, if not found send the appropriate error message
Request := ARequestInfo.URI;
if Consume(FDSContext, Request, NextRequest) then
begin
Request := NextRequest;
if Consume(FRESTContext, Request, NextRequest) then
begin
// datasnap/rest
DoDSRESTCommand(ARequestInfo, AResponseInfo, NextRequest);
end
else if ConsumeOtherContext(Request, NextContext, NextRequest) then
begin
DoDSOtherCommand(AContext, ARequestInfo, AResponseInfo, NextContext, NextRequest, FDSServerName <> EmptyStr);
end
else
begin
RestCtxt := Trim(FRESTContext);
if RestCtxt = EmptyStr then
RestCtxt := SProtocolRestEmpty;
AResponseInfo.ResponseNo := 501; {rest or other service not found in URI}
AResponseInfo.ContentText := Format(SProtocolNotSupported, [Request, RestCtxt]);
AResponseInfo.CloseConnection := true;
end;
end
else
begin
// This may dispatch .js files for example
DoCommandOtherContext(AContext, ARequestInfo, AResponseInfo, Request);
end;
if Assigned(Self.FTrace ) then
begin
FTrace(Self, AContext, ARequestInfo, AResponseInfo);
end;
finally
ClearInvocationMetadata();
{$IFNDEF POSIX}
CoUnInitialize;
{$ENDIF}
end;
finally
if StartDispatch then
TDSHTTPApplication.Instance.EndDispatch;
end;
end;
开始引入了Dispatch,到这里基本就明白了,后面的处理方式和一般的HTTP类似,只是简化了(DataSnap专用)。
可以看出,和一般的使用WebModule也就是WebReq方式还是有大的区别的。
