InMemory Language Server Protocol? [message #1767128] Sat, 01 July 2017 11:41 Go to next message

All the examples I have seen so far shows running the dsl language server as separate java process and communicating via json rpc. It makes sense if client is non-java.

If we are using xtext language server in Eclipse Oxygen Generic Text editor, is there a way to configure to run xtext language server inmemory without running separate process?

Sure, the protocol will be still JSON-RPC, but within the same process. The server just accepts In/Out streams, that could be of course in-process. I'm not deep into LSP4E, but if I get it right the default implementation assumes that the language server is started in a separate process (see ProcessStreamConnectionProvider). You would have to implement your own StreamConnectionProvider and start the DSLs server in the same process.

I've been tinkering around lately by "refactoring" the LSP4j LSP implementation to support other languages (a DSL of mine) and other messaging mechanisms, becausei if I remember well, right now only Java Sockets, Standard Streams and some native-bound sockets library are supported.

I might have missed many things, but I can't remember seeing the routines to start a different process.

Anyway I second what's been hinted by Karsten - begin around stream providers and implement your way through. Nothin impedes you from implementing everything within the same JVM process. You might need to refactor a good amount of code though to hook in your implementations (at least I needed to).

Good luck!
