Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular, to a message processing method and apparatus. Background Art

[0002] With the development of Internet services, there are various relationships and couplings among various software systems. Currently, the following are several popular ways of interaction between systems:

[0003] Based on interface definition and publication, that is, based on the microservice remote RPC call method. Among them, RPC is the full name of Remote Procedure Call, remote procedure call, which is a protocol for requesting services from a remote computer program through a network without the need to understand the underlying network technology.

[0004] And a method based on a generalized call for invocation, such as by defining the name and method of an interface, etc. In addition, there is also an interface based on the HTTP request REST style for access. Among them, Representational State Transfer, abbreviated as REST, is a design and development method for network applications, which can reduce the complexity of development and improve the scalability of the system.

[0005] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems in the prior art:

[0006] The system call method must rely on the interface provided by the other party. If the system is directly associated with too many other systems, too many interfaces may be defined. When the same service is connected to different systems, it is necessary to apply and rely on the return results of the interfaces of the other party, and when the interface name and parameters of the calling party change, the configuration needs to be modified. Therefore, the dependency between systems is high. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a message processing method and apparatus, which can solve the problem of strong dependence and high coupling degree among existing software systems.

[0008] To achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a message processing method is provided, including receiving a message request sent by a first system; wherein, the message request includes a system code, an operation code, and a message content; broadcasting the message request, so that other systems determine to process the message content according to the system code and the operation code in the message request; receiving the processing result of the message request sent by other systems, so as to send the processing result to the first system.

[0011] According to the judgment result, if so, process the message content according to the operation code and return the processing result; if not, skip the message request.

[0012] Optionally, processing the message content according to the operation code and returning the processing result includes:

[0013] When the processing result of processing the message content according to the operation code is abnormal, the other system throws an exception.

[0014] Optionally, processing the message content according to the operation code and returning the processing result includes:

[0015] Based on a preset operation code table, the other system looks up whether there is an operation code in the message request. If there is, process the message content according to the operation code and return the processing result; if not, return result information in a preset format.

[0016] Optionally, it includes:

[0017] If the processing result of the message request sent by another system is abnormal, the message request is broadcast again until a processing result of successful consumption is received.

[0018] Optionally, after receiving the processing result of the message request sent by another system, it further includes:

[0021] Optionally, the third module is further configured to:

[0022] If the processing result of the message request sent by another system is abnormal, the message request is broadcast again until a processing result of successful consumption is received.

[0032] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to assist understanding and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted below.

[0033] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the main process of the message processing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the message processing method includes:

[0034] Step S101, receiving a message request sent by the first system; wherein, the message request includes a system code, an operation code, and a message content.

[0035] In the embodiment, each system (A, B, C... N) defines a system code (such as SystemA), an operation code (such as operatorA), and a message content according to the business needs between the systems. For example: If system A needs to obtain whether a certain device of system B has been initialized, the system code SystemB and the operation code deviceInit (device initialization code) are defined in the message request. If system A needs to obtain whether a certain device of system B is configured completely, the system code SystemB and the operation code: deviceConfig (device configuration) are defined in the message request.

[0036] Furthermore, each message request can also set a message identifier topic, that is, the format of the message request is: message identifier, system code, operation code, message content.

[0037] It should be noted that the message convention between each system can be uniformly managed and set by the message server. Of course, the message server can execute step S101 to step S103. Among them, the message server, as a node of the network, is specifically used to store and forward data and information on the network.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the message server can receive the message requests with system codes and operation codes sent by each system (A, B, C... N) according to their own business requirements. If it fails, the system will resend until it succeeds.

[0039] Step S102, broadcasting the message request, so that other systems can determine to process the message content according to the system code and operation code in the message request.

[0040] In the embodiment, the message server receives the message requests of each system and then broadcasts and sends them out. Thus, each system can receive other message requests except the message requests it sends itself. That is, each system can determine whether to process the message content according to the system code and operation code in the message request, or it can also be said that each system can determine whether to consume the message content according to the system code and operation code in the message request.

[0041] As some embodiments, when other systems determine how to process the message content based on the system code and operation code in the message request, the other systems obtain the system code in the message request and determine whether it is the code of the other system. According to the judgment result, if it is, the message content is processed according to the operation code and the processing result is returned; if not, the message request is skipped.

[0042] In a further embodiment, if the processing result of processing the message content according to the operation code is abnormal, the other system throws an exception.

[0043] That is to say, each system (A, B, C... N) determines whether to consume the message content according to its own business needs. If not, it directly skips; if so, it processes the message and concurrently sends the processing result back to the message server. If an exception occurs during processing, an exception is thrown. The message server will resend the broadcast message, and each system (A, B, C... N) will consume the message again until the consumption is successful. Therefore, the high availability of the message is ensured, and each system does not need to have high availability and can process the message when the system is normal.

[0044] In addition, when processing the message content according to the operation code, the other system can also search for the operation code in the message request based on a preset operation code table. If it exists, the message content is processed according to the operation code and the processing result is returned; if not, a result message in a preset format (e.g., "undefined operation code") is returned.

[0045] Step S103: Receive the processing result of the message request sent by another system to send the processing result to the first system.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, if an abnormal processing result of the message request sent by another system is received, the message request is broadcast again until a processing result of successful consumption is received.

[0047] It is also worth noting that after receiving the processing result of the message request sent by another system, the processing result can be saved in the message server. That is to say, the processing result does not need to be retained in each system but is directly saved in the message server, only requiring the high availability of the message server, thereby realizing the persistence of the message processing result.

[0048] In summary, the message processing method proposed by the present invention solves the problems that the call dependencies between systems are very strong, modifying a single interface may affect many systems, and the coupling degree between systems is high. Moreover, it solves the problem that there are certain network delays and interruptions in the call of interfaces between systems, resulting in call failures. And the problem that the call speed between system interfaces through network transmission is affected and there may be a risk of data leakage in network transmission. At the same time, it solves the problem that each system in the call between systems must have high availability, otherwise it will fail. That is to say, the present invention avoids the problems of high coupling degree between systems, network transmission risks, and the need for high real-time availability of systems.

[0049] Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the main process of the message processing method according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The message processing method may include:

[0050] Step S201, receiving a message request sent by a first system. Among them, the message request includes a system code, an operation code, and a message content.

[0051] Step S202, broadcasting the message request, so that other systems determine to process the message content according to the system code and operation code in the message request.

[0052] Step S203, determining whether the processing result of the message request received from other systems is abnormal. If so, return to step S202; otherwise, proceed to step S204.

[0053] Step S204, storing the processing result.

[0054] Step S205, sending the stored processing result to the first system.

[0055] Figure 3 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the main process of processing message content according to an embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0056] Step S301, other systems obtain the system code in the message request.

[0057] Step S302, determining whether it is the code of this other system. If so, proceed to step S303; if not, skip the message request.

[0058] Step S303, based on a preset operation code table, this other system searches for the operation code in the message request. If it exists, proceed to step S304; if not, return the result information in a preset format.

[0059] Step S304, processing the message content according to the operation code.

[0060] Step S305: Determine whether the processing result of the processed message content is abnormal. If it is, proceed to Step S306; otherwise, proceed to Step S307.

[0061] Step S306: The other system throws an execution exception.

[0062] Step S307: Return the processing result.

[0063] In summary, the present invention separates interface dependencies. By agreeing on unified interaction rules among various systems, based on system coding, operation coding, etc., and then using a highly available message system to uniformly receive and distribute, the interaction between business systems can be achieved, reducing the coupling degree and improving the stability of the system.

[0064] In addition, the present invention realizes that on the one hand, it is sent to the message server, and on the other hand, it receives from the message server without mutual influence. Nodes between systems can be added and deleted at any time without affecting the use of other systems, thereby reducing the coupling degree between systems. Since there is only internal message interaction between systems, network propagation is reduced, the risk of data network delay is reduced, and efficiency is improved. At the same time, since only the high availability of the message server needs to be ensured, the data stability between systems is also improved a lot, and the stability requirements of each system can be relatively lower.

[0065] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the main modules of the message processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 4 shown, the message processing device 400 includes a first module 401, a second module 402, and a third module 403. Among them, the first module 401 receives a message request sent by the first system; the message request includes a system coding, an operation coding, and a message content. The second module 402 broadcasts the message request, so that other systems determine the processed message content according to the system coding and operation coding in the message request. The third module 403 receives the processing result of the message request sent by other systems to send the processing result to the first system.

[0066] In some embodiments, the third module 403 is further configured to:

[0067] If the processing result of the message request sent by other systems is abnormal, broadcast the message request again until a processing result of successful consumption is received.

[0068] As another embodiment of the present invention, so that other systems determine the processed message content according to the system coding and operation coding in the message request, including:

[0069] Other systems obtain the system code in the message request and determine whether it is the code of that other system; according to the judgment result, if so, process the message content according to the operation code and return the processing result, if not, skip the message request.

[0070] Preferably, processing the message content according to the operation code and returning the processing result includes:

[0071] When the processing result of processing the message content according to the operation code is abnormal, then that other system performs an exception throw.

[0072] Another preferred embodiment, processing the message content according to the operation code and returning the processing result includes:

[0073] Based on a preset operation code table, that other system looks up whether there is an operation code in the message request. If there is, process the message content according to the operation code and return the processing result. If not, return the result information in a preset format.

[0074] As still other embodiments of the present invention, the third module 403 may also be used to receive that the processing result of the message request sent by another system is abnormal, and then broadcast the message request again until a processing result of successful consumption is received.

[0075] It is also worth noting that after the third module 403 receives the processing result of the message request sent by another system, it may also save the processing result to the message server.

[0076] It should be noted that there is a corresponding relationship between the message processing method and the message processing device of the present invention in terms of specific implementation content, so the repeated content will not be described again.
