Solon-Flow与SpringBoot集成：企业级流程编排的最佳实践

痛点：传统流程编排的困境

在企业级应用开发中，你是否遇到过这样的问题？

• 业务流程复杂多变，硬编码难以维护
• 审批流程需要频繁调整，每次修改都要重新部署
• 不同业务场景需要不同的流程引擎，技术栈不统一
• 缺乏可视化设计工具，开发和业务人员沟通成本高

Solon-Flow作为Java通用流程编排框架，完美解决了这些痛点。本文将详细介绍如何在SpringBoot项目中集成Solon-Flow，实现高效、灵活的流程编排。

集成优势：为什么选择Solon-Flow + SpringBoot

特性	传统方案	Solon-Flow + SpringBoot
配置方式	硬编码/XML配置	YAML/JSON扁平化配置
维护成本	高（需重新编译部署）	低（热加载支持）
可视化支持	有限	完整可视化设计器
集成难度	复杂	简单（自动配置）
扩展性	受限	无限（元数据+组件化）

环境准备与依赖配置

Maven依赖配置

首先在SpringBoot项目的pom.xml中添加Solon-Flow依赖：

<dependencies>
    <!-- SpringBoot基础依赖 -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    
    <!-- Solon-Flow核心依赖 -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.noear</groupId>
        <artifactId>solon-flow</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.0</version>
    </dependency>
    
    <!-- 表达式引擎（可选） -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.noear</groupId>
        <artifactId>solon-flow-eval-aviator</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

自动配置原理

Solon-Flow通过@Configuration自动配置类实现与SpringBoot的无缝集成：

classDiagram
    class FlowConfigurate {
        +flowEngine() FlowEngine
        +flowEngineInit() void
    }
    
    class FlowPlugin {
        +start(AppContext) void
    }
    
    class FlowEngine {
        +load(String) void
        +register(String, FlowDriver) void
        +addInterceptor(ChainInterceptor, int) void
    }
    
    FlowConfigurate --> FlowEngine
    FlowPlugin --> FlowConfigurate
    SpringBootApplication --> FlowPlugin

核心集成步骤

1. 配置文件设置

在application.yml中配置流程文件路径：

spring:
  application:
    name: flow-demo

solon:
  flow:
    - "classpath:flow/*.yml"
    - "classpath:flow/*.json"

2. 流程组件开发

创建Spring组件实现流程任务：

import org.noear.solon.flow.TaskComponent;
import org.noear.solon.flow.FlowContext;
import org.noear.solon.flow.Node;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component("approvalTask")
public class ApprovalTaskComponent implements TaskComponent {
    
    @Override
    public void run(FlowContext context, Node node) throws Throwable {
        String actor = node.getMeta("actor");
        String businessId = (String) context.get("businessId");
        
        System.out.println("审批人：" + actor);
        System.out.println("业务ID：" + businessId);
        
        // 这里实现具体的审批逻辑
        boolean approved = checkApproval(actor, businessId);
        context.put("approved", approved);
    }
    
    private boolean checkApproval(String actor, String businessId) {
        // 实现审批逻辑
        return true;
    }
}

3. 流程定义文件

创建src/main/resources/flow/approval.yml：

id: "approval_flow"
name: "审批流程示例"
layout:
  - { id: "start", type: "start", link: "check_condition" }
  - { id: "check_condition", type: "activity", 
      when: "amount > 10000", link: "manager_approval",
      when: "amount <= 10000", link: "auto_approval" }
  - { id: "manager_approval", type: "activity", 
      meta: { actor: "[e-mail]" }, 
      task: "@approvalTask", link: "end" }
  - { id: "auto_approval", type: "activity", 
      task: "context.put('approved', true);", link: "end" }
  - { id: "end", type: "end" }

4. 服务层调用

创建Spring Service调用流程引擎：

import org.noear.solon.flow.FlowEngine;
import org.noear.solon.flow.FlowContext;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class FlowService {
    
    @Autowired
    private FlowEngine flowEngine;
    
    public boolean executeApprovalFlow(String businessId, double amount) {
        FlowContext context = FlowContext.of("approval_flow")
                .put("businessId", businessId)
                .put("amount", amount);
        
        flowEngine.execute(context);
        
        return (Boolean) context.get("approved", false);
    }
}

5. 控制器层

创建REST API端点：

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/flow")
public class FlowController {
    
    @Autowired
    private FlowService flowService;
    
    @PostMapping("/approval")
    public ApiResponse executeApproval(
            @RequestParam String businessId,
            @RequestParam double amount) {
        
        boolean approved = flowService.executeApprovalFlow(businessId, amount);
        
        return ApiResponse.success()
                .data("approved", approved)
                .data("businessId", businessId);
    }
}

高级特性集成

有状态流程支持

import org.noear.solon.flow.stateful.*;
import org.noear.solon.flow.stateful.controller.ActorStateController;
import org.noear.solon.flow.stateful.repository.InMemoryStateRepository;

@Service
public class StatefulFlowService {
    
    @Autowired
    private FlowEngine flowEngine;
    
    public StatefulTask startApprovalProcess(String processId, String actor) {
        StateController stateController = new ActorStateController(actor);
        StateRepository stateRepository = new InMemoryStateRepository();
        
        StatefulFlowContext context = new StatefulFlowContext(processId, stateController, stateRepository);
        
        return flowEngine.statefulService().getTask("approval_flow", context);
    }
}

事件总线集成

id: "event_demo"
layout:
  - task: |
      // 发送事件
      context.<String, String>eventBus().send("order.created", "订单创建事件");
  - task: |
      // 发送并等待响应
      String result = context.<String, String>eventBus()
          .sendAndRequest("order.process", "处理请求");
      context.put("processResult", result);

性能优化建议

1. 流程预加载

@Configuration
public class FlowPreloadConfig {
    
    @Bean
    public CommandLineRunner preloadFlows(FlowEngine flowEngine) {
        return args -> {
            // 预加载常用流程到内存
            flowEngine.load("classpath:flow/approval.yml");
            flowEngine.load("classpath:flow/payment.yml");
            System.out.println("流程预加载完成");
        };
    }
}

2. 缓存策略

@Service
public class CachedFlowService {
    
    @Autowired
    private FlowEngine flowEngine;
    
    @Cacheable(value = "flowResults", key = "#businessId")
    public boolean executeCachedFlow(String businessId, double amount) {
        return flowService.executeApprovalFlow(businessId, amount);
    }
}

监控与调试

日志配置

logging:
  level:
    org.noear.solon.flow: DEBUG
    com.example.flow: INFO

健康检查

@Component
public class FlowHealthIndicator implements HealthIndicator {
    
    @Autowired
    private FlowEngine flowEngine;
    
    @Override
    public Health health() {
        try {
            // 检查流程引擎状态
            if (flowEngine != null) {
                return Health.up().withDetail("loadedChains", flowEngine.getChainCount()).build();
            }
            return Health.down().build();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return Health.down(e).build();
        }
    }
}

常见问题解决方案

问题1：流程文件找不到

解决方案：检查文件路径和配置

solon:
  flow:
    - "classpath:/flow/**/*.yml"  # 支持通配符
    - "file:/external/flow/*.json" # 支持外部文件

问题2：表达式执行错误

解决方案：使用合适的表达式引擎

<!-- 选择适合的表达式引擎 -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.noear</groupId>
    <artifactId>solon-flow-eval-beetl</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>

问题3：组件注入失败

解决方案：确保组件命名一致

@Component("myTask")  // 组件名
public class MyTask implements TaskComponent {}

// YAML中引用
- { task: "@myTask" }  // 使用@前缀引用

实战案例：订单审批流程

业务流程描述

flowchart TD
    A[订单创建] --> B{金额判断}
    B -- ≤1000 --> C[自动审批]
    B -- >1000 --> D[经理审批]
    B -- >10000 --> E[总监审批]
    C --> F[审批完成]
    D --> F
    E --> F

实现代码

id: "order_approval"
layout:
  - { id: "start", type: "start", link: "amount_check" }
  - { id: "amount_check", type: "exclusive",
      when: "order.amount <= 1000", link: "auto_approve",
      when: "order.amount > 1000 && order.amount <= 10000", link: "manager_approve", 
      when: "order.amount > 10000", link: "director_approve" }
  - { id: "auto_approve", type: "activity", task: "order.status = 'APPROVED';" }
  - { id: "manager_approve", type: "activity", meta: { role: "manager" }, task: "@approvalTask" }
  - { id: "director_approve", type: "activity", meta: { role: "director" }, task: "@approvalTask" }
  - { id: "end", type: "end" }
