gRPC code generation reference guide

This reference guide explains how to configure gRPC code generation. It is recommended to read the official gRPC guide first.

Enabling gRPC code generation

By default, \*.proto files located in the src/main/proto directory are compiled into Java sources during the build process.

Maven の使用

To enable gRPC code generation, add the following dependency to your project:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
  <artifactId>quarkus-grpc</artifactId>
</dependency>

Next, ensure that the generate-code phase is enabled in the Quarkus Maven plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>${quarkus.platform.group-id}</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${quarkus.platform.version}</version>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>build</goal>
                <goal>generate-code</goal>
                <goal>generate-code-tests</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Gradle の使用

For Gradle, add the following dependency to your project:

implementation 'io.quarkus:quarkus-grpc'

Customizing the proto directory

By default, it is assumed that the \*.proto files are located in the src/main/proto directory. You can configure this location using the quarkus.grpc.codegen.proto-directory property in your build descriptor.

With Maven, add the following configuration:

<plugin>
    <groupId>${quarkus.platform.group-id}</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${quarkus.platform.version}</version>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>build</goal>
                <goal>generate-code</goal>
                <goal>generate-code-tests</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <properties>
                    <quarkus.grpc.codegen.proto-directory>${project.basedir}/ext/proto</quarkus.grpc.codegen.proto-directory>
                </properties>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

With Gradle, use the following configuration:

quarkus {
    quarkusBuildProperties.put("quarkus.grpc.codegen.proto-directory", "${project.projectDir}/ext/proto")
}

Generating Descriptor Set

Protocol Buffers do not contain descriptions of their own types. Thus, given only a raw message without the corresponding .proto file defining its type, it is difficult to extract any useful data. However, the contents of a .proto file can itself be represented using protocol buffers.

By default, Quarkus does not generate these descriptors. Quarkus does provide several configuration options for generating them. These would be added to your application.properties or application.yml file:

quarkus.generate-code.grpc.descriptor-set.generate
- Set to true to enable generation
quarkus.generate-code.grpc.descriptor-set.output-dir
- Set this to a value relative to the project’s build directory (i.e. target for Maven, build for Gradle)
- Maven default value: target/generated-sources/grpc
- Gradle default value: $buildDir/classes/java/quarkus-generated-sources/grpc
quarkus.generate-code.grpc.descriptor-set.name
- Name of the descriptor set file to generate
- Default value: descriptor_set.dsc

Configuring gRPC code generation for dependencies

You may have dependencies that contain *.proto files you want to compile to Java sources. This section explains how to configure code generation to include these \*.proto files during code generation.

Proto files for imports

The Protocol Buffers specification provides a way to import proto files. The Quarkus code generation mechanism lets you control the scope of dependencies to scan for possible imports by setting the quarkus.generate-code.grpc.scan-for-imports property in your application.properties. You can set it to one of the following values:

all - scan all dependencies
none - don’t scan dependencies, use only what is defined in src/main/proto or src/test/proto
groupId1:artifactId1,groupId2:artifactId2 - scan only the specified dependencies by group ID and artifact ID.

If not specified, the property defaults to com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java. To override it, set the quarkus.generate-code.grpc.scan-for-imports property in your application.properties. For example:

quarkus.generate-code.grpc.scan-for-imports=all

Proto files from dependencies

In some cases, you may want to use proto files from a different project to generate gRPC stubs. To do this:

Add a dependency on the artifact that contains the proto file to your project.
application.properties で、proto ファイルをスキャンしたい依存関係を指定します。

quarkus.generate-code.grpc.scan-for-proto=<groupId>:<artifactId>

The value of the property can be none, which is the default, or a comma-separated list of groupId:artifactId coordinates.

If the dependency contains many proto files, and you want to generate classes for only a subset of them, you can specify glob patterns per dependency. The paths to match are relative to the src/main/resources path in the dependency. For example:

quarkus.generate-code.grpc.scan-for-proto-include."<groupId>:<artifactId>"=foo/**,bar/**,banana/a-proto.proto
quarkus.generate-code.grpc.scan-for-proto-exclude."<groupId>:<artifactId>"=foo/private/**,bar/another-proto.proto

Note that : characters in the property keys must be escaped.

Skipping code generation

You can skip gRPC code generation using:

The grpc.codegen.skip system property: -Dgrpc.codegen.skip=true
The quarkus.grpc.codegen.skip property in your application.properties file: quarkus.grpc.codegen.skip=true

Generating Java files from proto with the protobuf-maven-plugin

Alternatively, to generate stubs for proto files, you can use the protobuf-maven-plugin. However, it’s recommended to use Quarkus support unless you have a specific need.

To do this, define the following properties in the <properties> section:

<grpc.version>1.62.2</grpc.version>
<protoc.version>3.25.0</protoc.version>

These properties configure the gRPC version and the protoc version.

Then, add the os-maven-plugin extension and the protobuf-maven-plugin configuration to the build section:

<build>
    <extensions>
        <extension>
            <groupId>kr.motd.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>os-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${os-maven-plugin-version}</version>
        </extension>
    </extensions>

    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.xolstice.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>protobuf-maven-plugin</artifactId>   (1)
            <version>${protobuf-maven-plugin-version}</version>
            <configuration>
                <protocArtifact>com.google.protobuf:protoc:${protoc.version}:exe:${os.detected.classifier}</protocArtifact>  (2)
                <pluginId>grpc-java</pluginId>
                <pluginArtifact>io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:${grpc.version}:exe:${os.detected.classifier}</pluginArtifact>
                <protocPlugins>
                    <protocPlugin>
                        <id>quarkus-grpc-protoc-plugin</id>
                        <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
                        <artifactId>quarkus-grpc-protoc-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>{quarkus-version}</version>
                        <mainClass>io.quarkus.grpc.protoc.plugin.MutinyGrpcGenerator</mainClass>
                    </protocPlugin>
                </protocPlugins>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>compile</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>compile</goal>
                        <goal>compile-custom</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
                <execution>
                    <id>test-compile</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>test-compile</goal>
                        <goal>test-compile-custom</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

        <!-- ... -->
    </plugins>
</build>

1	The `protobuf-maven-plugin` generates stub classes from your gRPC service definition (`proto` files).
2	Class generation uses the tool `protoc`, which is OS-specific. This is why we use the `os-maven-plugin` to target the executable compatible with the operating system.

Note: This configuration instructs the protobuf-maven-plugin to generate default gRPC classes and classes using Mutiny to fit with the Quarkus development experience.

When using protobuf-maven-plugin, instead of the quarkus-maven-plugin, you need to re-generate classes (using mvn compile) every time you update the proto files.

Using generated gRPC classes from dependencies

When gRPC classes, which are classes generated from proto files, are in a dependency of the application, the dependency needs a Jandex index. You can create a Jandex index using the jandex-maven-plugin. More information on this topic can be found in the Bean Discovery section of the CDI guide.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>io.smallrye</groupId>
            <artifactId>jandex-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.6</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                <id>make-index</id>
                <goals>
                    <goal>jandex</goal>
                </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

If you are using Gradle, you can use the following configuration:

plugins {
    id 'org.kordamp.gradle.jandex' version '1.1.0'
}

It is recommended to package the proto files in a dependency instead of the generated classes, so Quarkus can generate optimized classes. Refer to the dedicated section for more information.

Argument files

When the protoc command line exceeds the maximum command length, you can ask Quarkus to use an argument file to pass the arguments to the protoc command.

To enable this feature, set the quarkus.generate-code.grpc.use-arg-file property in your application.properties file to true.

If you are on Windows, and the command line exceeds 8190 characters, Quarkus automatically uses an argument file to pass the arguments to the protoc command.
