Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of software development, and in particular to a middleware management method, device, computing equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of computer technology, more and more applications have been developed. Correspondingly, there are more and more middleware working between applications and operating systems. Middleware is an independent system software service program. Distributed application software uses this software to share resources between different technologies. Middleware is located on the operating system and manages computing resources and network communications. In the daily R&D process, when there is a plan to adjust or upgrade a certain middleware, facing hundreds of projects, the operation and maintenance personnel cannot know exactly which projects use this middleware, resulting in the inability to accurately notify all affected business parties. The team also cannot clearly understand the overall situation of the use of middleware in all projects. Sometimes a developer modifies the information of a certain middleware in the project, and other relevant personnel in the project may not be able to know the change information in time to evaluate the correctness of the change. How to timely and accurately grasp the middleware information used in each project is the key to solving the above problems.

[0003] In the prior art, developers use the query function to search for the existence of a certain middleware in the project based on the IP or domain name of a given middleware. However, this method is very time-consuming. When there are a large number of projects, it takes a lot of time and energy to open each project and search each project one by one, and it is easy to miss something.

[0031] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to enable the scope of the present disclosure to be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals generally refer to the same components or elements.

[0032] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a middleware management device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the middleware management device 100 includes a file parsing module 110 , an information extraction module 120 , a configuration verification module 130 and an information query module 140 .

[0033] Among them, the file parsing module 110 traverses the file names of multiple configuration files contained in the project, determines the file category of each configuration file, calls the corresponding parser according to the file category of the configuration file to parse the configuration file, and obtains the configuration information of each configuration file. The project includes multiple configuration files, and the file name naming format of each configuration file is different. The configuration files of different file categories can be distinguished by the file name of the configuration file, so that different parsers can be called according to the file category of the configuration file to parse it and obtain the file information of the configuration file. When determining the file category of each configuration file, all configuration files of the project are traversed in the order from the root directory to the lowest sub-file. Specifically, starting from the set root directory, all sub-directories under the project and all files under the sub-directories are traversed.

[0034] The information extraction module 120 retrieves the configuration information of the configuration file according to each middleware feature in the middleware feature set, thereby determining the middleware constructed by each configuration file, and taking the middleware constructed by each configuration file in the project as the middleware constructed by the project, thereby obtaining the middleware set of the project. When retrieving the configuration information of the configuration file according to the middleware feature, the middleware feature is retrieved in the configuration item of the configuration information to determine whether the middleware feature is included in the configuration item. If the middleware feature is included in the configuration item, the middleware corresponding to the middleware feature is taken as the middleware constructed by the configuration file. If the middleware feature is not included in the configuration item, the next middleware feature is retrieved until all the middleware features in the configuration item are retrieved. If all the middleware features are retrieved and no middleware features are retrieved from the configuration item after all the middleware features are retrieved, it is determined that the configuration file does not include any middleware.

[0035] The information extraction module 120 also manages the middleware feature set. The middleware features and exclusion features in the middleware feature set can be adjusted and modified dynamically. When the middleware features or exclusion features are modified, the configuration items of the configuration information are automatically searched according to the modified middleware features or exclusion features, and the middleware constructed by the configuration file is re-determined, so that the middleware of the project can be parsed in real time according to the middleware features.

[0036] When a middleware is canceled, the configuration verification module 130 determines whether the project is configured with the canceled middleware based on the project's middleware set; if the project is configured with the canceled middleware, a modification prompt is issued to the project developer so that the developer can determine whether to modify the configuration file configured with the canceled middleware. If the middleware configured in the project and configuration file is canceled due to version or compatibility reasons, the canceled middleware in these projects will be marked as invalid. Subsequently, the relevant developers of the projects and corresponding configuration files marked with invalid middleware are determined, and modification prompts are issued to the relevant developers. The hasty deletion of the middleware code in the configuration file in the project may cause the configuration file to not be used normally. Therefore, it is necessary for the developer to determine whether to modify the middleware-related code and how to modify it, so as to improve the standardization and security of project modifications.

[0037] The information query module 140 determines the middleware set of each project, determines one or more projects including the target middleware according to each middleware set, and draws a middleware topology map according to the one or more projects including the target middleware. The information query module 140 also receives a user's query request for the target middleware call relationship, determines one or more projects to call the target middleware according to the middleware topology map, and returns the one or more projects to call the target middleware as a query result to the user.

[0038] In some cases, a certain middleware is changed. In order to accurately notify the relevant personnel of all affected projects, the information query module 140 provides the user with the function of querying the situation of all projects calling a certain target middleware. The user's query request includes the name of the target middleware. After receiving the query request, the name of the middleware is queried from the middleware set of each project, and the middleware with the queried middleware name is used as the project calling the target middleware. Finally, all projects calling the target middleware are returned to the user, so that notification information can be sent to all relevant personnel of these projects to ensure that all project personnel are aware of the middleware change information in a timely manner and evaluate the impact of the change.

[0039] Figure 1 The middleware management device 100 is suitable for residing in Figure 2 In the computing device shown. Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a computing device 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, in a basic configuration 202, computing device 200 typically includes a system memory 206 and one or more processors 204. A memory bus 208 may be used for communication between processor 204 and system memory 206.

[0040] Depending on the desired configuration, the processor 204 can be any type of processor, including but not limited to: a microprocessor (μP), a microcontroller (μC), a digital information processor (DSP), or any combination thereof. The processor 204 can include one or more levels of cache such as a primary cache 210 and a secondary cache 212, a processor core 214, and registers 216. An example processor core 214 can include an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a floating point unit (FPU), a digital signal processing core (DSP core), or any combination thereof. An example memory controller 218 can be used with the processor 204, or in some implementations, the memory controller 218 can be an internal part of the processor 204.

[0041] Depending on the desired configuration, the system memory 206 may be any type of memory, including but not limited to: volatile memory (such as RAM), non-volatile memory (such as ROM, flash memory, etc.), or any combination thereof. The system memory 206 may include an operating system 220, one or more programs 222, and program data 228. In some embodiments, the program 222 may be arranged to be executed by one or more processors 204 on the operating system using the program data 228 to execute the instructions 223 of the method 300 according to the present invention.

[0042] The computing device 200 may also include a storage interface bus 234. The storage interface bus 234 enables communication from storage devices 232 (e.g., removable storage 236 and non-removable storage 238) to the basic configuration 202 via the bus / interface controller 230. At least a portion of the operating system 220, the program 222, and the data 224 may be stored on the removable storage 236 and / or the non-removable storage 238, and when the computing device 200 is powered on or the program 222 is to be executed, it is loaded into the system memory 206 via the storage interface bus 234 and executed by the one or more processors 204.

[0043] The computing device 200 may also include an interface bus 240 that facilitates communication from various interface devices (e.g., output devices 242, peripheral interfaces 244, and communication devices 246) to the basic configuration 202 via the bus / interface controller 230. Example output devices 242 include a graphics processing unit 248 and an audio processing unit 250. They can be configured to facilitate communication with various external devices such as a display or speakers via one or more A / V ports 252. Example peripheral interfaces 244 may include a serial interface controller 254 and a parallel interface controller 256, which may be configured to facilitate communication with external devices such as input devices (e.g., keyboards, mice, pens, voice input devices, touch input devices) or other peripherals (e.g., printers, scanners, etc.) via one or more I / O ports 258. Example communication devices 246 may include a network controller 260, which may be arranged to communicate with one or more other computing devices 262 via a network communication link via one or more communication ports 264.

[0044] A network communication link can be an example of a communication medium. Communication media can generally be embodied as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transmission mechanism, and can include any information delivery medium. A "modulated data signal" can be a signal in which one or more of its data sets or its changes can be carried out in a manner that encodes information in the signal. As non-limiting examples, communication media can include wired media such as a wired network or a dedicated line network, and various wireless media such as sound, radio frequency (RF), microwave, infrared (IR) or other wireless media. The term computer-readable medium used herein can include both storage media and communication media.

[0045] In the computing device 200 according to the present invention, the program 222 includes multiple program instructions of the middleware management method 300, which can instruct the processor 204 to execute some steps of the middleware management method 300 running in the computing device 200 of the present invention, so that each part in the computing device 200 runs the application by executing the middleware management method 300 of the present invention.

[0046] The computing device 200 can be implemented as a server, such as a file server, a database, a server, an application server, etc. These electronic devices can be such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), wireless network browsing devices, application-specific devices, or hybrid devices that can include any of the above functions. It can be implemented as a personal computer including desktop computers and notebook computer configurations. In some embodiments, the computing device 200 is also configured as the middleware management method 300.

[0047] Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a middleware management method 300 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The middleware management method 300 of the present invention is suitable for being executed in a computing device, and is further suitable for being executed in a computing device such as Figure 2 The process is executed in the computing device 200 shown. The computing device stores a project and a middleware feature set, and the project includes a plurality of configuration files.

[0048] A project is a project file used by developers to implement certain functions and requirements. Multiple projects can be stored in a computing device, and the present invention does not limit the number of projects. In addition, the computing device can be connected to a code server, which stores multiple project groups, each of which includes multiple projects. All projects of a development team can be centrally stored in a project group or distributed in multiple specified projects. The computing device can download all projects that need to be managed by middleware under a specified project group from the code server. The computing device can download multiple projects from the code server in batches to implement full coverage of middleware management for all project groups built in the code server.

[0049] After completing the middleware management of all downloaded projects and uploading the parsing results to the code server, delete the locally stored projects to save storage space. In order to improve the efficiency of middleware management of projects, a specific root directory is set locally and all downloaded projects are stored in the root directory. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the naming rule of the project folder directory is root directory + path separator + project name + path separator + date.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the project can be implemented as a SpringBoot framework project. SpringBoot is an open source application framework on the Java platform, which provides a container with inversion of control characteristics.

[0051] Each project includes multiple and various configuration files, and the configuration files implement the configuration function of the project. The present invention does not limit the number and types of configuration files included in the project. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the project includes an object model file, a serialization format file and a text file.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the instruction execution method 300 starts from step S310, and the file category of each configuration file is determined according to the file name of the configuration file. The project includes multiple configuration files, and the file name naming format of each configuration file is different. The configuration files of different file categories can be distinguished by the file name of the configuration file, so that different parsers are called according to the file category of the configuration file to align and parse, and obtain the file information of the configuration file. When determining the file category of each configuration file, all configuration files of the project are traversed in the order from the root directory to the lowest sub-file. Specifically, starting from the set root directory, all sub-directories under the project and all files under the sub-directories are traversed.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the file categories of the configuration file include object model files, serialization format files, and text files. When determining the file category of the configuration file, when the file name of the configuration file includes .xml, it is determined to be an object model file; when the file name of the configuration file includes .yml, it is determined to be a serialization format file; when the file name of the configuration file includes .properties, it is determined to be a text file.

[0054] Subsequently, step S320 is executed to call the corresponding parser according to the file category of the configuration file to parse the configuration file and obtain the configuration information of each configuration file. When the file category of the project is determined, a category data table is generated. The category data table includes multiple rows of category data, and each row of category data records the file name, file category and file address of the configuration file. When determining the configuration information of the configuration file, the corresponding parser is called according to the file category recorded in each row of category data in the category data table; and then the parser is used to parse the configuration file according to the file address and file name recorded in each row of category data.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when parsing the configuration information of the configuration file, if the file category of the configuration file is an object model file, the object model file parser is called to parse the object model file to obtain the file structure, and then the configuration information of the configuration file is determined according to the file structure.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the project is a SpringBoot project, the object model file can be implemented as a pom.xml file. pom.xml is a project configuration file managed by Maven, which is used to manage: source code, configuration files, developer information and roles, issue tracking system, organization information, project authorization, project URL, project dependencies, etc. The object model file parser is pre-set in the computing device for parsing the object model file, and can be implemented as MavenXpp3Reader.

[0057] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a file architecture according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the object model file includes multiple operating environments, and each operating environment includes multiple middlewares.

[0058] When determining the configuration information of the configuration file according to the file architecture, one or more operating environments included in the configuration file are determined according to the file architecture, and the operating environment included in the configuration file and the configuration items under each operating environment are used as configuration information. For the sake of project operation safety, the middleware of each configuration file is divided into working in a certain operating environment. The operating environment includes the local development and test operating environment (local), the test operating environment (test) and the production operating environment (online). The configuration items under each operating environment record all the middleware constructed in the configuration file, and the configuration items can be determined according to the file architecture. Configuration information includes configuration items and operating environment.

[0059] If the configuration file is a serialized format file, the serialized format file parser is called to parse the configuration file to obtain the configuration items of the serialized format file, and the operating environment of the configuration file is determined according to the file name of the configuration file; finally, the operating environment of the configuration file and its configuration items are used as the configuration information of the configuration file.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the project is a SpringBoot project, the serialization format file can be implemented as a YML file. The YML file is a file format written in YAML (YAML AintMarkup Language). YAML is an intuitive data serialization format that can be recognized by a computer. It is saved in the form of key-value pairs, and the storage and reading speed is faster than XML. The serialization format file parser is pre-set in the computing device for parsing the serialization format file, and can be implemented as a YAMLParser.

[0061] The serialization format file stores information in the form of key-value pairs. The serialization format file parser reads each key-value pair, extracts the configuration items of the serialization format file, and determines the running environment of the serialization format file based on the file name. If the file name is application-local.yml, then the running environment is the local development and test running environment based on the word "local" in it; if the file name is application-test.yml, then the running environment is the test running environment based on the word "test" in it; if the file name is application-online.yml, then the running environment is the production running environment based on the word "online" in it.

[0062] If the configuration file is a text file, the text file parser is called to parse the text file to obtain the operating environment and configuration items of the configuration file. The text file stores information in the form of key-value pairs. The text file parser reads each key-value pair, extracts the configuration items of the text file, and determines the operating environment of the text file based on the file name. Finally, the operating environment and configuration items of the configuration file are used as the configuration information of the configuration file.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the project is a SpringBoot project, the text file can be implemented as a properties file. A properties file is a commonly used configuration file in Java, with a file suffix of ".properties", a text file, and a content format of the file is a key-value pair. A text file parser is pre-set in a computing device for parsing text files, and can be implemented as Properties.load.

[0064] Then, step S330 is executed to retrieve the configuration information of the configuration file according to each middleware feature in the middleware feature set, so as to determine the middleware defined by each configuration file. When determining the configuration information of the configuration file, the configuration information of all configuration files is generated into a configuration information set. Each configuration information in the configuration information set includes a configuration item and a running environment. The configuration item stores the middleware features constructed in the configuration file in the form of a key-value pair.

[0065] The middleware feature set includes multiple middleware features, each of which represents specific information contained in the configuration file when the middleware is constructed. The middleware feature set is set in advance by the developer, and records the middleware features of all the middleware that need to be parsed. Each middleware includes one or more middleware features. When a middleware includes multiple middleware features, as long as the configuration information includes one of these middleware features, it is considered that the corresponding middleware is constructed in the configuration file.

[0066] Table 1 shows an example of a middleware feature set and according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] As shown in Table 1, the types of middleware include MQ message queue, MySQL database, SQLSERVER database, CODIS, Kafka, SOLR, ES, S3, etc. The present invention does not limit the types of middleware included in the middleware feature set. Developers can dynamically adjust the types of middleware included in the middleware feature set according to actual needs, so as to monitor the middleware constructed in the configuration file and the project in real time.

[0070] As shown in Table 1, 5672 of the MQ message queue and 3306 of MySQL in Table 1 all represent the corresponding middleware port numbers. nfiles3.in.autohome.com.cn of S3 represents the specific domain name used by the middleware.

[0071] When retrieving the configuration information of the configuration file based on the middleware feature, the middleware feature is retrieved in the configuration item of the configuration information to determine whether the configuration item contains the middleware feature. If the configuration item contains the middleware feature, the middleware corresponding to the middleware feature is used as the middleware constructed by the configuration file. If the configuration item does not contain the middleware feature, the next middleware feature is retrieved until all the middleware features in the configuration item are retrieved. If all the middleware features are retrieved and no middleware features are retrieved from the configuration item, it is determined that the configuration file does not include any middleware.

[0072] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when retrieving the configuration information of a configuration file, first retrieve the port number 5672 of the MQ message queue in its configuration information; if the port number is not retrieved, retrieve the port number 3306 of MySQL; if the port number is retrieved, it is determined that MySQL middleware is constructed in the configuration file; then retrieve the middleware features of other middlewares until the retrieval of all middleware features in the middleware feature set is completed.

[0073] The middleware feature set also stores multiple exclusion features, each of which corresponds to a middleware and middleware feature. When searching for middleware features, the configuration information in the configuration file is also searched according to each exclusion feature in the middleware feature set. Exclusion features represent that when developers are parsing the middleware of a project or configuration file, if they need to ignore the call to the middleware in some cases, they can set the exclusion feature so that it is not considered as the middleware constructed by the project or configuration file, thereby improving the flexibility of analyzing the middleware.

[0074] As shown in Table 1, the middleware feature set includes many exclusion features, such as Solr’s http: / / xxx.xxx.cn .

[0075] When searching the configuration information of the configuration file according to the exclusion feature, the exclusion feature is searched in the configuration item of the configuration information to determine whether the configuration item contains the exclusion feature. If the configuration item contains the exclusion feature, the middleware corresponding to the exclusion feature is not used as the middleware constructed by the configuration file. If the configuration item does not contain the exclusion feature, the next exclusion feature is searched.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a middleware of a configuration file is parsed, by retrieving the solr keyword in its configuration information, it is determined that the configuration file calls the Solr middleware, and whether the specific domain name used by the middleware is http: / / xxx.xxx.cn If the specific domain name used by the Solr middleware in this configuration file is http: / / xxx.xxx.cn , the Solr middleware is not used as the middleware for this configuration file, and the next exclusion feature is retrieved.

[0077] If a configuration file is determined not to include any middleware, then the exclusion feature will not be retrieved for it.

[0078] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the middleware features and exclusion features in the middleware feature set can be dynamically adjusted and modified by the developer. When the middleware features or exclusion features are modified, the configuration items of the configuration information are automatically searched according to the modified middleware features or exclusion features, and the middleware constructed by the configuration file is re-determined, so that the middleware of the project can be parsed in real time according to the middleware features.

[0079] Subsequently, step S340 is executed to collect the middleware defined in each configuration file in the project as the middleware constructed by the project to obtain a set of middleware associated with the project. The project includes multiple configuration files. After the middleware constructed by each configuration file in the project is parsed, the middleware constructed by all configuration files in the project are taken as the middleware constructed by the project, thereby obtaining a set of middleware constructed by the project. According to the above steps S310 to S340, the middleware set of the project can be quickly parsed in real time, and the above steps S310 to S340 are repeated for each project to quickly and accurately parse and obtain the middleware constructed by a large number of projects.

[0080] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the operating environment of the middleware constructed by the configuration file is determined according to the operating environment in the configuration information of the configuration file, and then the set of middleware under each operating environment of the project is determined according to the operating environment of the middleware. When the configuration information of each configuration file is obtained again, the operating environment of the configuration file is determined. The middleware of the configuration file can be set to run under different operating environments. Therefore, in order to determine the situation of the configuration files and the middleware constructed by the project under different operating environments, the middleware is classified according to the operating environment in the configuration information, so as to determine the construction situation of the middleware under each operating environment.

[0081] The computing device also stores a historical middleware set of multiple versions in each operating environment, which is a middleware set of historical versions of projects. The historical middleware set stores all middleware built in the corresponding operating environment for each historical version of the project.

[0082] After determining the construction status of the middleware in each operating environment, the middleware set in each operating environment is compared with the historical middleware set of the previous version in the operating environment. If the middleware set is changed compared to the historical middleware set, a change prompt is issued to the project developer so that the developer can confirm the changed middleware. When the middleware in the operating environment changes, the developer can determine whether the change is normal and whether the configuration file has been modified incorrectly. Changes in the middleware set include increases and decreases in the middleware built compared to the historical middleware set. When a change occurs, the person responsible for the project or the person who submitted the configuration file, etc., can be automatically queried, and a change prompt can be issued to the relevant developers.

[0083] According to one embodiment of the present invention, if a middleware is canceled, it is determined whether the project is configured with the canceled middleware based on the middleware set of the project; if the project is configured with the canceled middleware, a modification prompt is issued to the developer of the project so that the developer can determine whether to modify the configuration file configured with the canceled middleware. If the middleware configured in the project and the configuration file is canceled due to version or compatibility reasons, the canceled middleware in these projects will be marked as invalid. Subsequently, the relevant developers of the projects and corresponding configuration files marked with invalid middleware are determined, and modification prompts are issued to the relevant developers. The rash deletion of the middleware code in the configuration file in the project may cause the configuration file to not be used normally. Therefore, it is necessary for the developer to judge whether to modify the middleware-related code and how to modify it, so as to improve the standardization and security of project modifications.

[0084] After determining whether a project has been configured with canceled middleware and whether the middleware set in each operating environment has changed, mark the project as traversed and continue to process other projects that have not been managed by middleware according to the above steps. When the middleware management work is completed for all projects with the latest version, the processing of global projects is completed.

[0085] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes determining the middleware set of each project according to the above steps, determining one or more projects containing the target middleware according to each middleware set, and drawing a middleware topology map according to the one or more projects containing the target middleware. In order to more intuitively understand the calling situation of multiple projects on a certain target middleware, a middleware topology map of the target middleware is also provided. When drawing the middleware topology map, first build the target middleware node; if a certain project has built the target middleware, build the project node, and draw the connection between the project node and the target middleware node, which represents that the project has called the target middleware. If the project indirectly calls the middleware through other projects, build the connection between the project and other projects, as well as the connection between other projects and the middleware. After traversing the middleware sets of all projects, the middleware topology map is obtained.

[0086] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a middleware topology diagram according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the project csh.dn calls the middleware repo, and other projects such as api.cps and dealer.api indirectly call the middleware repo through the project csh.dn.

[0087] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method of the present invention further includes receiving a user's query request for the target middleware call relationship, determining one or more projects that call the target middleware according to the middleware set query of each project, and returning the one or more projects that call the target middleware as the query result to the user. In some cases, a certain middleware is changed. In order to accurately notify the relevant personnel of all affected projects, the present invention also provides the user with the function of querying the situation of all projects calling a certain target middleware. The user's query request includes the name of the target middleware. After receiving the query request, the name of the middleware is queried from the middleware set of each project, and the middleware with the queried middleware name is used as the project that calls the target middleware. Finally, all projects that call the target middleware are returned to the user so that notification information can be sent to all relevant personnel of these projects to ensure that all project personnel are aware of the middleware change information in a timely manner and evaluate the impact of the change.

[0088] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method of the present invention further includes generating ledger information including various middleware. The ledger information includes all middleware and the projects associated with each middleware. When generating the ledger information, the middleware set of each project is first determined, and then the projects associated with each middleware are extracted from the middleware set of each project. The projects associated with the middleware are the projects configured with the middleware.

[0089] The middleware management method in the present invention is suitable for execution in a computing device, wherein the computing device stores a project and a middleware feature set, and the project includes a plurality of configuration files. First, according to the file name of the configuration file, the file category of each configuration file is determined, so that the corresponding parser is called according to the file category of the configuration file to parse the configuration file and obtain the configuration information of each configuration file. Thus, the configuration information of the configuration files of different file categories can be extracted. Then, according to each middleware feature in the middleware feature set, the configuration information of the configuration file is retrieved to determine the middleware constructed by each configuration file. Finally, the middleware constructed by each configuration file in the project is used as the middleware constructed by the project to obtain the middleware set of the project. By calling different parsers according to different configuration files to obtain the configuration information, the constructed middleware can be obtained by searching in the configuration information. The present invention can be compatible with multiple configuration files under the project, realize automatic analysis and acquisition of configuration information, and thus obtain the constructed middleware, which greatly improves the analysis efficiency of the middleware related information and facilitates developers to master the middleware situation of the project.
