groupgroupstringFalseService discoveryThe group of the service providers. It can distinguish services when it has multiple implements.Above 1.0.7
path<path>stringFalsedefault value is the interface nameService discoveryIn 1.0, service path is not supported, it’s always equals to the interface name. So it may not compitable when a service reference in 1.0 calls a service provider in 2.0 that specified path.Above 1.0.12
delaydelayintFalse0Performance optimizeThe delay time(ms) for registering services. When set to -1, it indicates that the services will expose to registry after the Spring context is initializedAbove 1.0.14
timeouttimeoutintFalse1000Performance optimizeThe RPC timeout(ms)Above 2.0.0
retriesretriesintFalse2Performance optimizeThe retry count for RPC, not including the first invoke. Please set it to 0 if don’t need to retry.Above 2.0.0
connectionsconnectionsintFalse100Performance optimizeThe maximum connections of every provider. For short connection such as rmi, http and hessian, it’s connection limit, but for long connection such as dubbo, it’s connection count.Above 2.0.0
loadbalanceloadbalancestringFalserandomPerformance optimizeStrategy of load balance, random, roundrobin and leastactive are available.Above 2.0.0
asyncasyncbooleanFalsefalsePerformance optimizeAsynchronous execution, not reliable. It does not block the execution thread just only ignores the return value.Above 2.0.0
locallocalclass/booleanFalsefalseService governancetrue means use the default proxy class name, which is the interface name with Local as the suffix. But it has been marked as @Deprecated.Pleas see also stub.Above 2.0.0

tokentokenstring/booleanFalsefalseService governanceEnable token validation. Disable token if it’s null. It will generate token randomly when enable, or will use static token. The token is designed to prevent consumers from bypassing the registry direct access to provider. If you want peer to peer, token validation must disbable.Above 2.0.0
registrystringFalseregister to all registries by defaultConfiguration associationRegister services to specified registry while having multiple registries. It is the id value of the <dubbo:registry>. If don’t want to register to any registry, set it as N/AAbove 2.0.0
