dubbo2.5.3消费dubbox提供的服务报错

dubbox和dubbo 2.x是兼容的，没有改变dubbo的任何已有的功能和配置方式（除了升级了spring之类的版本），但是实际上确实不能相互兼容相互调用服务。

其实不兼容的原因是因为服务端受理请求时，在DecodeableRpcInvocation这个类出现异常，异常出线的行数106行 ：

出现异常的原因报文解析decode异常。这个要了解dubbo协议的报文格式。
in 对象执行read操作，会一个一个偏移读取报文dubbox提供的服务，当执行该行时，认为报文应该是一个整数，但是确是一个String,解析异常。 所以尝试对DecodeableRpcInvocation类进行了兼容处理：

修改的类如下所示：

修改完这块代码打成jar包重新定义dubbo版本为3.8.4，这样的方式可以解决的问题是2,5.3可以消费3.8.4的服务，但是3.8.4不能消费2.5.3的服务，所以作为服务的提供方，应该升到3.8.4，如果仅仅是消费服务而不提供服务，可以用低版本的dubbo
