Is grpc-web-java in development?

[tachyon-ops]

Hi all!

After reading this passage from the README.md:

In the future, we expect gRPC-Web to be supported in language-specific Web frameworks, such as Python, Java, and Node. See the roadmap doc.

I would like to know if any effort to create a proxy for java has been initiated, and keep an eye to it's development.

Me and my team at work are interested in a java proxy, and would like not to waste resources, so just contact me if you have any information about that. Would be great to help out as we can and push it forward.

Thanks!

I would like to bump this issue if possible :-)

Sorry for the delayed response.

We are happy to get any contribution on this. Our current plan to handle grpc-web traffic using Servlet APIs and then proxy the traffic to grpc locally. We can start with unary calls for the initial experimental implementation.

@vnorigoog FYI

Also, it would be useful if you could share any issues you have run into with Envoy. @stanley-cheung

Thanks.

How about just a Java client for gRPC web (e.g. using Envoy for the transcoding to a gRPC server)? Would this be easier/faster to achieve?

I hope it is ok to re-bump this, since more than 1 year lasted since the original post... Is there any update? not having to add envoy would simplify a lot the adoption of grpc-web for jvm backends.

thanks in advance!

Seems like this exists now? https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web/tree/master/src/connector

Thanks for the interest. :)

@jvolkman Unfortunately we have no timeline to release that as an official solution. It was an experiment only :)
