Spring 5 Functional Web Framework Sample

This repository contains a sample application that uses the functional web framework introduced in Spring 5. It mainly consists of the following types:

Class	Description
`Person`	POJO representing a person
`PersonRepository`	Reactive repository for `Person`
`DummyPersonRepository`	Dummy implementation of `PersonRepository`
`PersonHandler`	Web handler that exposes a `PersonRepository`
`PersonRouter`	Provides a functional `RouterFunction`
`PersonController`	A reactive `RestController`
`Server`	Contains a `main` method to start the server

Spring Context - or not

In the main method in Server there are four ways to start the application:

ControllerConfiguration: Spring Context + request processing with PersonController
RoutingConfiguration: Spring Context + request processing with RouterFunction
'functionalBeanRegistration`: Same as first one, but with new programmatic way to register beans
standalone: get HttpHandler directly from RouterFunction, no Spring Context

Additionally you can choose with what server to start, see the next two points.

Running the Reactor Netty server

Build using maven
Run the org.springframework.samples.web.reactive.function.Server class

Running the Tomcat server

Comment out the startReactorServer() line in Server.java
Uncomment the startTomcatServer() line in Server.java
Build using maven
Run the org.springframework.samples.web.reactive.function.Server class

Sample curl commands

Instead of using a Rest-Client of your choice, here are some sample curl commands that access resources exposed by this sample:

curl -v 'http://localhost:8080/person'
curl -v 'http://localhost:8080/person/1'
curl -d '{"name":"Jack Doe","age":"16"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -v 'http://localhost:8080/person'
