Sentinel Annotation CDI extension

This extension is an implementation using CDI interceptor for Sentinel annotations. JSR 318: Enterprise JavaBeansTM 3.1/Interceptors 1.2 define the javax interceptor and CDI related specifications extends the Java Interceptors specification and allows interceptor bindings to be applied to CDI stereotypes.

CDI is an abbreviation for Contexts and Dependency Injection, the related JSRs are : JSR 365: Contexts and Dependency Injection for JavaTM 2.0, JSR 346: Contexts and Dependency Injection for JavaTM EE 1.1, JSR 299: Contexts and Dependency Injection for the JavaTM EE platform

Annotation

The @SentinelResourceBinding is modified from @SentinelResource by adding @InterceptorBinding for CDI specification, and in order to intercept all kinds of @SentinelResourceBinding with different attributes in one interceptor, all attributes of @SentinelResourceBinding are annotated with @Nonbinding.

The @SentinelResourceBinding annotation indicates a resource definition, including:

• value: Resource name, required (cannot be empty)
• entryType: Traffic type (inbound or outbound), EntryType.OUT by default
• fallback: Fallback method when exceptions caught (including BlockException, but except the exceptions defined in exceptionsToIgnore). The fallback method should be located in the same class with original method by default. If you want to use method in other classes, you can set the fallbackClass with corresponding Class (Note the method in other classes must be static). The method signature requirement:
  • The return type should match the origin method;
  • The parameter list should match the origin method, and an additional Throwable parameter can be provided to get the actual exception.
• defaultFallback: The default fallback method when exceptions caught (including BlockException, but except the exceptions defined in exceptionsToIgnore). Its intended to be a universal common fallback method. The method should be located in the same class with original method by default. If you want to use method in other classes, you can set the fallbackClass with corresponding Class (Note the method in other classes must be static). The default fallback method signature requirement:
  • The return type should match the origin method;
  • parameter list should be empty, and an additional Throwable parameter can be provided to get the actual exception.
• blockHandler: Handler method that handles BlockException when blocked. The parameter list of the method should match original method, with the last additional parameter type BlockException. The return type should be same as the original method. The blockHandler method should be located in the same class with original method by default. If you want to use method in other classes, you can set the blockHandlerClass with corresponding Class (Note the method in other classes must be static).
• exceptionsToIgnore: List of business exception classes that should not be traced and caught in fallback.
• exceptionsToTrace: List of business exception classes to trace and record. In most cases, using exceptionsToIgnore is better. If both exceptionsToTrace and exceptionsToIgnore are present, only exceptionsToIgnore will be activated.

For example:

@SentinelResourceBinding(value = "abc", fallback = "doFallback")
public String doSomething(long i) {
    return "Hello " + i;
}

public String doFallback(long i, Throwable t) {
    // Return fallback value.
    return "fallback";
}

public String defaultFallback(Throwable t) {
    return "default_fallback";
}

Configuration

According to 9.4. Interceptor enablement and ordering, to enable the interceptor, we may add configuration in resources/META-INF/beans.xml like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    <interceptors>
        <class>com.alibaba.csp.sentinel.annotation.cdi.interceptor.SentinelResourceInterceptor</class>
    </interceptors>
</beans>
