I'm currently updating from Spring boot 2.2.x to 2.6.x + legacy code, it's a big jump so there were multiple changes. I'm now running into a problem with load balancing through an api-gateway. I'll apologize in advance for the wall of code to come. I will put the point of failure at the bottom.
When I send in an API request, I get the following error:
more than one 'primary' bean found among candidates: [zookeeperDiscoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier, serviceInstanceListSupplier, retryAwareDiscoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier]
it seems that the zookeeperDiscovery and retryAware suppliers are loaded through the default serviceInsatnceListSupplier, which has @Primary over it. I thought would take precedence over the other ones. I assume I must be doing something wrong due changes in the newer version, here are the relevant code in question:
@Configuration
@LoadBalancerClients(defaultConfiguration = ClientConfiguration.class)
public class WebClientConfiguration {
@Bean
@Qualifier("microserviceWebClient")
@ConditionalOnMissingBean(name = "microserviceWebClient")
public WebClient microserviceWebClient(@Qualifier("microserviceWebClientBuilder") WebClient.Builder builder) {
return builder.build();
}
@Bean
@Qualifier("microserviceWebClientBuilder")
@ConditionalOnMissingBean(name = "microserviceWebClientBuilder")
@LoadBalanced
public WebClient.Builder microserviceWebClientBuilder() {
return WebClient.builder();
}
@Bean
@Primary
public ReactorLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction reactorLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction(
ReactiveLoadBalancer.Factory<ServiceInstance> loadBalancerFactory) {
//the transformer is currently null, there wasn't a transformer before the upgrade
return new CustomExchangeFilterFunction(loadBalancerFactory, transformer);
}
}
There are also some Feign Client related configs here which I will omit, since it's not (or shouldn't be) playing a role in this problem:
public class ClientConfiguration {
/**
* The property key within the feign clients configuration context for the feign client name.
*/
public static final String FEIGN_CLIENT_NAME_PROPERTY = "feign.client.name";
public ClientConfiguration() {
}
//Creates a new BiPredicate for shouldClose. This will be used to determine if HTTP Connections should be automatically closed or not.
@Bean
@ConditionalOnMissingBean
public BiPredicate<Response, Type> shouldClose() {
return (Response response, Type type) -> {
if(type instanceof Class) {
Class<?> currentClass = (Class<?>) type;
return (null == AnnotationUtils.getAnnotation(currentClass, EnableResponseStream.class));
}
return true;
};
}
//Creates a Custom Decoder
@Bean
public Decoder createCustomDecoder(
ObjectFactory<HttpMessageConverters> converters, BiPredicate<Response, Type> shouldClose
) {
return new CustomDecoder(converters, shouldClose);
}
@Bean
@Qualifier("loadBalancerName")
public String loadBalancerName(PropertyResolver propertyResolver) {
String name = propertyResolver.getProperty(FEIGN_CLIENT_NAME_PROPERTY);
if(StringUtils.hasText(name)) {
// we are in a feign context
return name;
}
// we are in a LoadBalancerClientFactory context
name = propertyResolver.getProperty(LoadBalancerClientFactory.PROPERTY_NAME);
Assert.notNull(name, "Could not find a load balancer name within the configuration context!");
return name;
}
@Bean
public ReactorServiceInstanceLoadBalancer reactorServiceInstanceLoadBalancer(
BeanFactory beanFactory, @Qualifier("loadBalancerName") String loadBalancerName
) {
return new CustomRoundRobinLoadBalancer(
beanFactory.getBeanProvider(ServiceInstanceListSupplier.class),
loadBalancerName
);
}
@Bean
@Primary
public ServiceInstanceListSupplier serviceInstanceListSupplier(
@Qualifier(
"filter"
) Predicate<ServiceInstance> filter, DiscoveryClient discoveryClient, Environment environment, @Qualifier(
"loadBalancerName"
) String loadBalancerName
) {
// add service name to environment if necessary
if(environment.getProperty(LoadBalancerClientFactory.PROPERTY_NAME) == null) {
StandardEnvironment wrapped = new StandardEnvironment();
if(environment instanceof ConfigurableEnvironment) {
((ConfigurableEnvironment) environment).getPropertySources()
.forEach(s -> wrapped.getPropertySources().addLast(s));
}
Map<String, Object> additionalProperties = new HashMap<>();
additionalProperties.put(LoadBalancerClientFactory.PROPERTY_NAME, loadBalancerName);
wrapped.getPropertySources().addLast(new MapPropertySource(loadBalancerName, additionalProperties));
environment = wrapped;
}
return new FilteringInstanceListSupplier(filter, discoveryClient, environment);
}
}
There was a change in the ExchangeFilter constructor, but as far as I can tell, it accepts that empty transformer,I don't know if it's supposed to:
public class CustomExchangeFilterFunction extends ReactorLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction {
private static final ThreadLocal<ClientRequest> REQUEST_HOLDER = new ThreadLocal<>();
//I think it's wrong but I don't know what to do here
private static List<LoadBalancerClientRequestTransformer> transformersList;
private final Factory<ServiceInstance> loadBalancerFactory;
public CustomExchangeFilterFunction (Factory<ServiceInstance> loadBalancerFactory) {
this(loadBalancerFactory);
///according to docs, but I don't know where and if I need to use this
@Bean
public LoadBalancerClientRequestTransformer transformer() {
return new LoadBalancerClientRequestTransformer() {
@Override
public ClientRequest transformRequest(ClientRequest request, ServiceInstance instance) {
return ClientRequest.from(request)
.header(instance.getInstanceId())
.build();
}
};
}
public CustomExchangeFilterFunction (Factory<ServiceInstance> loadBalancerFactory, List<LoadBalancerClientRequestTransformer> transformersList) {
super(loadBalancerFactory, transformersList); //the changed constructor
this.loadBalancerFactory = loadBalancerFactory;;
}
@Override
public Mono<ClientResponse> filter(ClientRequest request, ExchangeFunction next) {
// put the current request into the thread context - ugly, but couldn't find a better way to access the request within
// the choose method without reimplementing nearly everything
REQUEST_HOLDER.set(request);
try {
return super.filter(request, next);
} finally {
REQUEST_HOLDER.remove();
}
}
//used to be an override, but the function has changed
//code execution doesn't even get this far yet
protected Mono<Response<ServiceInstance>> choose(String serviceId) {
ReactiveLoadBalancer<ServiceInstance> loadBalancer = loadBalancerFactory.getInstance(serviceId);
if(loadBalancer == null) {
return Mono.just(new EmptyResponse());
}
ClientRequest request = REQUEST_HOLDER.get();
// this might be null, if the underlying implementation changed and this method is no longer executed in the same
// thread
// as the filter method
Assert.notNull(request, "request must not be null, underlying implementation seems to have changed");
return choose(loadBalancer, filter);
}
protected Mono<Response<ServiceInstance>> choose(
ReactiveLoadBalancer<ServiceInstance> loadBalancer,
Predicate<ServiceInstance> filter
) {
return Mono.from(loadBalancer.choose(new DefaultRequest<>(filter)));
}
}
There were pretty big changes in the CustomExchangeFilterFunction, but the current execution doesn't even get there. It fails here, in .getIfAvailable(...):
public class CustomRoundRobinLoadBalancer implements ReactorServiceInstanceLoadBalancer {
private static final int DEFAULT_SEED_POSITION = 1000;
private final ObjectProvider<ServiceInstanceListSupplier> serviceInstanceListSupplierProvider;
private final String serviceId;
private final int seedPosition;
private final AtomicInteger position;
private final Map<String, AtomicInteger> positionsForVersions = new HashMap<>();
public CustomRoundRobinLoadBalancer (
ObjectProvider<ServiceInstanceListSupplier> serviceInstanceListSupplierProvider,
String serviceId
) {
this(serviceInstanceListSupplierProvider, serviceId, new Random().nextInt(DEFAULT_SEED_POSITION));
}
public CustomRoundRobinLoadBalancer (
ObjectProvider<ServiceInstanceListSupplier> serviceInstanceListSupplierProvider,
String serviceId,
int seedPosition
) {
Assert.notNull(serviceInstanceListSupplierProvider, "serviceInstanceListSupplierProvider must not be null");
Assert.notNull(serviceId, "serviceId must not be null");
this.serviceInstanceListSupplierProvider = serviceInstanceListSupplierProvider;
this.serviceId = serviceId;
this.seedPosition = seedPosition;
this.position = new AtomicInteger(seedPosition);
}
@Override
// we have no choice but to use the raw type Request here, because this method overrides another one with this signature
public Mono<Response<ServiceInstance>> choose(@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") Request request) {
//fails here!
ServiceInstanceListSupplier supplier = serviceInstanceListSupplierProvider
.getIfAvailable(NoopServiceInstanceListSupplier::new);
return supplier.get().next().map((List<ServiceInstance> instances) -> getInstanceResponse(instances, request));
}
}
Edit: after some deeper stacktracing, it seems that it does go into the CustomFilterFunction and invokes the constructor with super(loadBalancerFactory, transformer)
