11. Building a Simple Gateway Using Spring MVC or Webflux

Spring Cloud Gateway provides a utility object called ProxyExchange which you can use inside a regular Spring web handler as a method parameter. It supports basic downstream HTTP exchanges via methods that mirror the HTTP verbs. With MVC it also supports forwarding to a local handler via the forward() method. To use the ProxyExchange just include the right module in your classpath (either spring-cloud-gateway-mvc or spring-cloud-gateway-webflux).

MVC example (proxying a request to "/test" downstream to a remote server):

All the features of Spring MVC or Webflux are available to Gateway handler methods. So you can inject request headers and query parameters, for instance, and you can constrain the incoming requests with declarations in the mapping annotation. See the documentation for @RequestMapping in Spring MVC for more details of those features.
Headers can be added to the downstream response using the header() methods on ProxyExchange.
You can also manipulate response headers (and anything else you like in the response) by adding a mapper to the get() etc. method. The mapper is a Function that takes the incoming ResponseEntity and converts it to an outgoing one.
First class support is provided for "sensitive" headers ("cookie" and "authorization" by default) which are not passed downstream, and for "proxy" headers (x-forwarded-*).

6.1 Combined Global Filter and GatewayFilter Ordering

When a request comes in (and matches a Route) the Filtering Web Handler will add all instances of GlobalFilter and all route specific instances of GatewayFilter to a filter chain. This combined filter chain is sorted by the org.springframework.core.Ordered interface, which can be set by implementing the getOrder() method or by using the @Order annotation.

As Spring Cloud Gateway distinguishes between "pre" and "post" phases for filter logic execution (see: How It Works), the filter with the highest precedence will be the first in the "pre"-phase and the last in the "post"-phase.

6.8 Gateway Metrics Filter

The Gateway Metrics Filter runs as long as the property spring.cloud.gateway.metrics.enabled is not set to false. This filter adds a timer metric named "gateway.requests" with the following tags:

  • routeId: The route id
  • routeUri: The URI that the API will be routed to
  • outcome |Outcome as classified by HttpStatus.Series
  • status: Http Status of the request returned to the client

These metrics are then available to be scraped from /actuator/metrics/gateway.requests and can be easily integated with Prometheus to create a Grafana dashboard.

6.9 Making An Exchange As Routed

After the Gateway has routed a ServerWebExchange it will mark that exchange as "routed" by adding gatewayAlreadyRouted to the exchange attributes. Once a request has been marked as routed, other routing filters will not route the request again, essentially skipping the filter. There are convenience methods that you can use to mark an exchange as routed -or check if an exchange has already been routed.

The Gateway can listen for requests on https by following the usual Spring server configuration. Example:

application.yml.  +

server:
+  ssl:
+    enabled: true
+    key-alias: scg
+    key-store-password: scg1234
+    key-store: classpath:scg-keystore.p12
+    key-store-type: PKCS12

+

Gateway routes can be routed to both http and https backends. If routing to a https backend then the Gateway can be configured to trust all downstream certificates with the following configuration:

application.yml.  +

spring:
+  cloud:
+    gateway:
+      httpclient:
+        ssl:
+          useInsecureTrustManager: true

+

Using an insecure trust manager is not suitable for production. For a production deployment the Gateway can be configured with a set of known certificates that it can trust with the follwing configuration:

application.yml.  +

spring:
+  cloud:
+    gateway:
+      httpclient:
+        ssl:

2.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT

This project provides an API Gateway built on top of the Spring Ecosystem, including: Spring 5, Spring Boot 2 and Project Reactor. Spring Cloud Gateway aims to provide a simple, yet effective way to route to APIs and provide cross cutting concerns to them such as: security, monitoring/metrics, and resiliency.

1. How to Include Spring Cloud Gateway

To include Spring Cloud Gateway in your project use the starter with group org.springframework.cloud and artifact id spring-cloud-starter-gateway. See the Spring Cloud Project page for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train.

If you include the starter, but, for some reason, you do not want the gateway to be enabled, set spring.cloud.gateway.enabled=false.

[Important]Important

Spring Cloud Gateway requires the Netty runtime provided by Spring Boot and Spring Webflux. It does not work in a traditional Servlet Container or built as a WAR.

2. Glossary

  • Route: Route the basic building block of the gateway. It is defined by an ID, a destination URI, a collection of predicates and a collection of filters. A route is matched if aggregate predicate is true.
  • Predicate: This is a Java 8 Function Predicate. The input type is a Spring Framework ServerWebExchange. This allows developers to match on anything from the HTTP request, such as headers or parameters.
  • Filter: These are instances Spring Framework GatewayFilter constructed in with a specific factory. Here, requests and responses can be modified before or after sending the downstream request.

3. How It Works

Spring Cloud Gateway Diagram

Clients make requests to Spring Cloud Gateway. If the Gateway Handler Mapping determines that a request matches a Route, it is sent to the Gateway Web Handler. This handler runs sends the request through a filter chain that is specific to the request. The reason the filters are divided by the dotted line, is that filters may execute logic before the proxy request is sent or after. All "pre" filter logic is executed, then the proxy request is made. After the proxy request is made, the "post" filter logic is executed.

[Note]Note

URIs defined in routes without a port will get a default port set to 80 and 443 for HTTP and HTTPS URIs respectively.

4. Route Predicate Factories

Spring Cloud Gateway matches routes as part of the Spring WebFlux HandlerMapping infrastructure. Spring Cloud Gateway includes many built-in Route Predicate Factories. All of these predicates match on different attributes of the HTTP request. Multiple Route Predicate Factories can be combined and are combined via logical and.

4.1 After Route Predicate Factory

The After Route Predicate Factory takes one parameter, a datetime. This predicate matches requests that happen after the current datetime.

6.8 Gateway Metrics Filter
The Gateway Metrics Filter runs as long as the property spring.cloud.gateway.metrics.enabled is not set to false. This filter adds a timer metric named "gateway.requests" with the following tags:
  • routeId: The route id
  • routeUri: The URI that the API will be routed to
  • outcome |Outcome as classified by HttpStatus.Series
  • status: Http Status of the request returned to the client
These metrics are then available to be scraped from /actuator/metrics/gateway.requests and can be easily integated with Prometheus to create a Grafana dashboard.

6.9 Making An Exchange As Routed

After the Gateway has routed a ServerWebExchange it will mark that exchange as "routed" by adding gatewayAlreadyRouted to the exchange attributes. Once a request has been marked as routed, other routing filters will not route the request again, essentially skipping the filter. There are convenience methods that you can use to mark an exchange as routed -or check if an exchange has already been routed.

  • ServerWebExchangeUtils.isAlreadyRouted takes a ServerWebExchange object and checks if it has been "routed"
  • ServerWebExchangeUtils.setAlreadyRouted takes a ServerWebExchange object and marks it as "routed"

  • ServerWebExchangeUtils.setAlreadyRouted takes a ServerWebExchange object and marks it as "routed"

7. TLS / SSL

The Gateway can listen for requests on https by following the usual Spring server configuration. Example:

application.yml.  +

server:
+  ssl:
+    enabled: true
+    key-alias: scg
+    key-store-password: scg1234
+    key-store: classpath:scg-keystore.p12
+    key-store-type: PKCS12

+

Gateway routes can be routed to both http and https backends. If routing to a https backend then the Gateway can be configured to trust all downstream certificates with the following configuration:

application.yml.  +

spring:
+  cloud:
+    gateway:
+      httpclient:
+        ssl:
+          useInsecureTrustManager: true

+

Using an insecure trust manager is not suitable for production. For a production deployment the Gateway can be configured with a set of known certificates that it can trust with the follwing configuration:

application.yml.  +

spring:
+  cloud:
+    gateway:
+      httpclient:
+        ssl:

This style also allows for more custom predicate assertions. The predicates defined by RouteDefinitionLocator beans are combined using logical and. By using the fluent Java API, you can use the and(), or() and negate() operators on the Predicate class.
7.2 DiscoveryClient Route Definition Locator
The Gateway can be configured to create routes based on services registered with a DiscoveryClient compatible service registry.
To enable this, set spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.enabled=true and make sure a DiscoveryClient implementation is on the classpath and enabled (such as Netflix Eureka, Consul or Zookeeper).

Spring Cloud Gateway provides a utility object called ProxyExchange which you can use inside a regular Spring web handler as a method parameter. It supports basic downstream HTTP exchanges via methods that mirror the HTTP verbs. With MVC it also supports forwarding to a local handler via the forward() method. To use the ProxyExchange just include the right module in your classpath (either spring-cloud-gateway-mvc or spring-cloud-gateway-webflux).
