What you expected to happen

protocols: tri: name: tri port: 8080 dubbo: name: dubbo port: 20880

The Dubbo 3.3.x version also encounters this exception during interoperation and does not support the multi-port and multi-protocol configuration method. When it is necessary to use Triple + JAX-RS to provide REST services, single-port multi-protocol is not supported.

The Dubbo provider does not expose the interface: org.apache.dubbo.metadata.MetadataService/getMetadataInfo, only /org.apache.dubbo.metadata.MetadataServiceV2/GetMetadataInfo

Anything else

After starting the consumer, o.a.dubbo.registry.client.metadata.MetadataUtils Failed to get app metadata for revision. the consumer side is triggered when pulling metadata every second

set dubbo.onlyUseMetadataV2 of your provider to false

dubbo:
registry:
address: nacos://127.0.0.1:8848?username=nacos&password=nacos
register-mode: instance
protocols:
tri:
name: tri
port: 8080
dubbo:
name: dubbo
port: 20880

you should use "```" to enclosed your configuration or code snippet at the post to keep its original format.

set dubbo.onlyUseMetadataV2 of your provider to false

The configuration dubbo.application.only-use-metadata-v2=false has been set, but no obvious changes have been observed.

spring:
  application:
    name: uupt-demo-service
dubbo:
  registry:
    address: nacos://${nacos.address:127.0.0.1}:8848?username=nacos&password=nacos
    register-mode: instance
  application:
    name: ${spring.application.name}
    qos-enable: true
    only-use-metadata-v2: false
  protocols:
    tri:
      name: tri
      port: 8080
    dubbo:
      name: dubbo
      port: 20880

This issue occurs only when using Spring Boot 2.7.17 and has not been reproduced in Spring Boot 3. Using Spring Boot 2.7.17，After upgrading the consumer from 3.1.11 to 3.3.5。it directly calls the org.apache.dubbo.metadata.MetadataServiceV2 interface to obtain metadata, which can be matched normally, so there is no such issue. How to smoothly migrate from 3.1.11 to 3.3.5? The exception example is demonstrated in the attached source code. please help check how to handle this issue further?

Comment From: zrlw

debug ExporterDeployListener#onModuleStarted at your provider side to see why metadataServiceExporter doesn't export v1.

Comment From: zrlw

or you might bypass it by changing provider metadataType from local to remote

dubbo:
  application:
      metadata-type: remote
