Getting Started with Thrift (2)-Implementing a simple server/client application with thrift

Thrift can be implemented in C + +, Java, Python and other languages automatically generated, here in C + + as an example.

This paper consists of 5 parts, of which 1, 2 and 3 are focused.

1. Preparation of [. Thrift] Files

You can Google to the official example as follows:

struct student{
 1:i32 Sno,
 2:string sname,
 3:bool ssex,
 4:i16 sage,
}
service serv{
 void Put (1:student s),
}

Save the above code as a student.thrift file.

2. Automatically generate server-side programs

Enter the following command in terminal to automatically generate [. cpp] and [. h] files.

Thrift-r--gen CPP Student.thrift

The documents obtained are as follows:

Serv.cpp
Serv.h
Serv_server.skeleton.cpp
student_constants.cpp
student_constants.h
Student_types.cpp
Student_types.h

In Serv_server.skeleton.cpp, there is a main function running on the server side. The Serv and student of these file names are related to the thrift file you originally created.

3. Writing Client Programs

#include "Serv.h"  //Your. h File
#include <transport/TSocket.h>
#include <transport/ tbuffertransports.h>
#include <protocol/TBinaryProtocol.h>

using namespace Apache::thrift;
Using namespace Apache::thrift::p rotocol;
using namespace Apache::thrift::transport;

Using Boost::shared_ptr;

int main (int argc, char **argv) {
	boost::shared_ptr<tsocket> socket (new Tsocket ("localhost", 9090));
	Boost::shared_ptr<ttransport> Transport (new Tbufferedtransport (socket));
	Boost::shared_ptr<tprotocol> Protocol (new Tbinaryprotocol (transport));

	Transport->open ();

	Your Codes

	transport->close ();

	return 0;
}

4. Compile/Link

g++-g-i/home/michael/opt/include/thrift-l/home/michael/opt/lib/-lthrift Serv.cpp student_types.cpp Student_ Constants.cpp serv_server.skeleton.cpp-o server

g++-g-i/home/michael/opt/include/thrift-l/home/michael/opt/ lib/-lthrift-lm-pthread-lz-lrt-lssl Serv.cpp student_types.cpp student_constants.cpp Client

5. Run

./server

./client
