How to build gRPC server-side

This chapter will explain how was gRPC built in server-side.

source code

private void start() throws IOException {
    /* The port on which the server should run */
    int port = 50051;
    server = ServerBuilder.forPort(port)
        .addService(new GreeterImpl())
        .build()
        .start();
  }

interpretation

There are four steps to build Server, ServerBuilder.forPort, ServerBuilder.addService, ServerBuilder.build and ServerBuilder.start respectively.

• ServerBuilder.forPort()
• ServerBuilder.addService()
• ServerBuilder.build()
• ServerBuilder.start()
