3. Test

Add the soul-examples module to soul's pom.xml for test.

3.1. Startup an HTTP backend service

Startup soul-examples-http

You can see the dependency in soul-examples-http's pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.dromara</groupId>
    <artifactId>soul-spring-boot-starter-client-springmvc</artifactId>
    <version>${soul.version}</version>
</dependency>

Configure the application.yml

soul:
  http:
    adminUrl: http://localhost:9095
    port: 8188
    contextPath: /http
    appName: http
    full: false

If soul.http.full=false, you need to add the @SoulSpringMvcClient annotation in controller or controller method.

3.1.1. Test the service

Visit http://localhost:8188/test/findByUserId?userId=1 and the result as follows.

3.2.3. Press test

Use wrk to press test and compare the two ways as follows.

  1. Visit the backend service directly.
  2. Visit the service via soul.

The performance drops slightly after using the gateway, probably because of the extra layer of forwarding.

3.2.4. Problem in the process

When startup the port of 8189,but the output of console is still 8188.

After modify the value of soul.http.port, the problem solved.
