r与java跨平台通信_Rserve与Java的跨平台通信

前言

现在主流的异构跨平台通信组件Apache Thrift已

经火遍大江南北，支持15种编程语言，但是到目前为止还没有加入R语言。要让R实现跨平台的通信，就只能从R的社区中找方案，像

rJava,RCpp,rpy都是2种语言结合的方案，这些方案类似地会把R引擎加载到其他的语言内存环境。优点是高效，缺点是紧耦合，扩展受限，接口程

序无法重用。

Rserve给了我们一种新的选择，抽象R语言网络接口，基于TCP/IP协议实现与多语言之间的通信。让我们体验一下Rserve与Java的跨平台通信。

Java远程连接Rserve

1. Rserve介绍

Rserve是一个基于TCP/IP协议的，允许R语言与其他语言通信的C/S结构的程序，支持C

/C++,Java,PHP,Python,Ruby,Nodejs等。

Rserve提供远程连接，认证，文件传输等功能。我们可以设计R做为后台服务，处理统计建模，数据分析，绘图等的任务。

2. Rserve安装

系统环境:

#查看进程

~ ps -aux|grep Rserve

conan 7142 0.0 1.2 116296 25240 ? Ss 09:13 0:00 /usr/lib/R/bin/Rserve

#查看端口

~ netstat -nltp|grep Rserve

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6311 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7142/Rserve

这时Rserve已经启动，端口是6311。接下来，我们来简单地用一下。

Java远程连接Rserve

1). 远程连接Rserve

刚刚启动时，使用的本地模式，如果想运程连接需要增加参数 –RS-enable-remote#杀掉刚才的Rserve守护进程

~ kill -9 7142

#打开远程模式重新启动

~ R CMD Rserve --RS-enable-remote

#查看端口

~ netstat -nltp|grep Rserve

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6311 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7173/Rserve

0 0.0.0.0:6311，表示不限IP访问了。

2). 下载Java客户端JAR包

下载Java客户端JAR包：http://www.rforge.net/Rserve/files/REngine.jar

RserveEngine.jar

3). 创建Java工程

在Eclipse中新建Java工程，并加载JAR包环境中。

4). Java编程实现package org.conan.r.rserve;

import org.rosuda.REngine.REXP;

import org.rosuda.REngine.REXPMismatchException;

import org.rosuda.REngine.Rserve.RConnection;

import org.rosuda.REngine.Rserve.RserveException;

public class Demo1 {

public static void main(String[] args) throws RserveException, REXPMismatchException {

Demo1 demo = new Demo1();

demo.callRserve();

}

public void callRserve() throws RserveException, REXPMismatchException {

RConnection c = new RConnection("192.168.1.201");

REXP x = c.eval("R.version.string");

System.out.println(x.asString());//打印变量x

double[] arr = c.eval("rnorm(10)").asDoubles();

for (double a : arr) {//循环打印变量arr

System.out.print(a + ",");

}

}

}

5). 运行结果R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16)

1.7695224124757984,-0.29753038160770323,0.26596993631142246,1.4027325257239547,-0.30663565983302676,-0.17594309812158912,0.10071253841443684,0.9365455161259986,0.11272119436439701,0.5766373030674361,

通过Rserve非常简单地实现了，Java和R的通信。

解决了通信的问题，我们就可以发挥想象，把R更广泛的用起来。

接下来，会讲到如何设计Java和R互相调用的软件架构。敬请关注….
