JIRA: https://jira.spring.io/browse/INT-4462 When the HTTP request body is empty, the `HttpMessageReader` ends up with the empty `Mono` which can't be evaluated to any reasonable value. * Add fallback to `requestParams` when `Mono` for body is empty and also when `payloadExpression` returns null **Cherry-pick to 5.0.x**

== WebFlux Support
|
|
|
|
[[webflux-intro]]
|
|
=== Introduction
|
|
|
|
The WebFlux Spring Integration module (`spring-integration-webflux`) allows for the execution of HTTP requests and the processing of inbound HTTP requests in Reactive manner.
|
|
The WebFlux support consists of the following gateway implementations: `WebFluxInboundEndpoint`, `WebFluxRequestExecutingMessageHandler`.
|
|
The implementation is fully based on the Spring https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/web-reactive.html#spring-webflux[WebFlux] and https://projectreactor.io/[Project Reactor] foundations.
|
|
Also see <<http>> for more information since many options are shared between reactive and regular HTTP components.
|
|
|
|
[[webflux-inbound]]
|
|
=== WebFlux Inbound Components
|
|
|
|
Starting with _version 5.0_, the `WebFluxInboundEndpoint`, `WebHandler`, implementation is provided.
|
|
This component is similar to the MVC-based `HttpRequestHandlingEndpointSupport` with which it shares some common options via the newly extracted `BaseHttpInboundEndpoint`.
|
|
Instead of MVC, it is used in the Spring WebFlux Reactive environment.
|
|
A simple sample for explanation:
|
|
|
|
[source,java]
|
|
----
|
|
@Configuration
|
|
@EnableWebFlux
|
|
@EnableIntegration
|
|
public class ReactiveHttpConfiguration {
|
|
|
|
@Bean
|
|
public WebFluxInboundEndpoint simpleInboundEndpoint() {
|
|
WebFluxInboundEndpoint endpoint = new WebFluxInboundEndpoint();
|
|
RequestMapping requestMapping = new RequestMapping();
|
|
requestMapping.setPathPatterns("/test");
|
|
endpoint.setRequestMapping(requestMapping);
|
|
endpoint.setRequestChannelName("serviceChannel");
|
|
return endpoint;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@ServiceActivator(inputChannel = "serviceChannel")
|
|
String service() {
|
|
return "It works!";
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
As can be seen, the configuration is similar to the `HttpRequestHandlingEndpointSupport` mentioned above, except that we use `@EnableWebFlux` to add the WebFlux infrastructure to our integration application.
|
|
Also, the `WebFluxInboundEndpoint` performs `sendAndReceive` operation to the downstream flow using back-pressure, on demand based capabilities, provided by the reactive HTTP server implementation.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The reply part is non-blocking as well and based on the internal `FutureReplyChannel` which is flat-mapped to a reply `Mono` for on demand resolution.
|
|
|
|
The `WebFluxInboundEndpoint` can be configured with a custom `ServerCodecConfigurer`, `RequestedContentTypeResolver` and even a `ReactiveAdapterRegistry`.
|
|
The latter provides a mechanism where we can return a reply as any reactive type - Reactor `Flux`, RxJava `Observable`, `Flowable` etc.
|
|
This way, we can simply implement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-sent_events[Server Sent Events] scenarios with Spring Integration components:
|
|
|
|
[source,java]
|
|
----
|
|
@Bean
|
|
public IntegrationFlow sseFlow() {
|
|
return IntegrationFlows
|
|
.from(WebFlux.inboundGateway("/sse")
|
|
.requestMapping(m -> m.produces(MediaType.TEXT_EVENT_STREAM_VALUE)))
|
|
.handle((p, h) -> Flux.just("foo", "bar", "baz"))
|
|
.get();
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Also see <<http-request-mapping>> and <<http-cors>> for more possible configuration options.
|
|
|
|
When the request body is empty, or `payloadExpression` returns `null`, the request params `MultiValueMap<String, String>` is used for a `payload` of the target message to process.
|
|
|
|
[[webflux-outbound]]
|
|
=== WebFlux Outbound Components
|
|
|
|
The `WebFluxRequestExecutingMessageHandler` (starting with _version 5.0_) implementation is very similar to `HttpRequestExecutingMessageHandler`, using a `WebClient` from the Spring Framework WebFlux module.
|
|
To configure it, define a bean like this:
|
|
|
|
[source,xml]
|
|
----
|
|
<bean id="httpReactiveOutbound"
|
|
class="org.springframework.integration.webflux.outbound.WebFluxRequestExecutingMessageHandler">
|
|
<constructor-arg value="http://localhost:8080/example" />
|
|
<property name="outputChannel" ref="responseChannel" />
|
|
</bean>
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You can configure a `WebClient` instance to use:
|
|
|
|
[source,xml]
|
|
----
|
|
<beans:bean id="webClient" class="org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.WebClient"
|
|
factory-method="create"/>
|
|
|
|
<bean id="httpReactiveOutbound"
|
|
class="org.springframework.integration.webflux.outbound.WebFluxRequestExecutingMessageHandler">
|
|
<constructor-arg value="http://localhost:8080/example" />
|
|
<constructor-arg re="webClient" />
|
|
<property name="outputChannel" ref="responseChannel" />
|
|
</bean>
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The `WebClient` `exchange()` operation returns a `Mono<ClientResponse>` which is mapped (using several `Mono.map()` steps) to an `AbstractIntegrationMessageBuilder` as the output from the `WebFluxRequestExecutingMessageHandler`.
|
|
Together with the `ReactiveChannel` as an `outputChannel`, the `Mono<ClientResponse>` evaluation is deferred until a downstream subscription is made.
|
|
Otherwise, it is treated as an `async` mode and the `Mono` response is adapted to an `SettableListenableFuture` for an asynchronous reply from the `WebFluxRequestExecutingMessageHandler`.
|
|
The target payload of the output message depends on the `WebFluxRequestExecutingMessageHandler` configuration.
|
|
The `setExpectedResponseType(Class<?>)` or `setExpectedResponseTypeExpression(Expression)` identifies the target type of the response body element conversion.
|
|
If the `replyPayloadToFlux` is set to `true`, the response body is converted to a `Flux` with the provided `expectedResponseType` for each element and this `Flux` is sent as the payload downstream.
|
|
A <<splitter,splitter>> afterwards can be used to iterate over this `Flux` in a reactive manner.
|
|
|
|
In addition a `BodyExtractor<?, ClientHttpResponse>` can be injected into the `WebFluxRequestExecutingMessageHandler` instead of `expectedResponseType` and `replyPayloadToFlux` properties.
|
|
It can be used for low-level access to the `ClientHttpResponse` and more control over body and HTTP headers conversion.
|
|
The `ClientHttpResponseBodyExtractor` is provided out-of-the-box as identity function to produce downstream the whole `ClientHttpResponse` and any other possible custom logic.
|
|
|
|
Also see <<http-outbound>> for more possible configuration options.
|
|
|
|
[[webflux-namespace]]
|
|
=== WebFlux Namespace Support
|
|
|
|
==== Introduction
|
|
|
|
Spring Integration provides a _webflux_ namespace and the corresponding schema definition.
|
|
To include it in your configuration, simply provide the following namespace declaration in your application context configuration file:
|
|
|
|
[source,xml]
|
|
----
|
|
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
|
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
|
|
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
|
|
xmlns:int="http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration"
|
|
xmlns:int-webflux="http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration/webflux"
|
|
xsi:schemaLocation="
|
|
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
|
|
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
|
|
http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration
|
|
http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration/spring-integration.xsd
|
|
http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration/webflux
|
|
http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration/webflux/spring-integration-webflux.xsd">
|
|
...
|
|
</beans>
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== Inbound
|
|
|
|
To configure Spring Integration WebFlux via XML you may use appropriate components from the mentioned `int-webflux` namespace - `inbound-channel-adapter` or `inbound-gateway` according request/response requirements respectively:
|
|
|
|
[source,xml]
|
|
----
|
|
<inbound-channel-adapter id="reactiveFullConfig" channel="requests"
|
|
path="test1"
|
|
auto-startup="false"
|
|
phase="101"
|
|

|
|
error-channel="errorChannel"
|
|
payload-expression="payload"
|
|
supported-methods="PUT"
|
|
status-code-expression="'202'"
|
|
header-mapper="headerMapper"
|
|
codec-configurer="codecConfigurer"
|
|
reactive-adapter-registry="reactiveAdapterRegistry"
|
|
requested-content-type-resolver="requestedContentTypeResolver">
|
|
<request-mapping headers="foo"/>
|
|
<cross-origin origin="foo"
|
|
method="PUT"/>
|
|
<header name="foo" expression="'foo'"/>
|
|
</inbound-channel-adapter>
|
|
|
|
<inbound-gateway id="reactiveFullConfig" request-channel="requests"
|
|
path="test1"
|
|
auto-startup="false"
|
|
phase="101"
|
|
request-payload-type="byte[]"
|
|
error-channel="errorChannel"
|
|
payload-expression="payload"
|
|
supported-methods="PUT"
|
|
reply-timeout-status-code-expression="'504'"
|
|
header-mapper="headerMapper"
|
|
codec-configurer="codecConfigurer"
|
|
reactive-adapter-registry="reactiveAdapterRegistry"
|
|
requested-content-type-resolver="requestedContentTypeResolver">
|
|
<request-mapping headers="foo"/>
|
|
<cross-origin origin="foo"
|
|
method="PUT"/>
|
|
<header name="foo" expression="'foo'"/>
|
|
</inbound-gateway>
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== Outbound
|
|
|
|
If you want to execute the http request in a reactive, non-blocking way, you can use the `outbound-gateway` or `outbound-channel-adapter`.
|
|
|
|
[source,xml]
|
|
----
|
|
<int-webflux:outbound-gateway id="reactiveExample1"
|
|
request-channel="requests"
|
|
url="http://localhost/test"
|
|
http-method-expression="headers.httpMethod"
|
|
extract-request-payload="false"
|
|
expected-response-type-expression="payload"
|
|
charset="UTF-8"
|
|
reply-timeout="1234"
|
|
reply-channel="replies"/>
|
|
|
|
<int-webflux:outbound-channel-adapter id="reactiveExample2"
|
|
url="http://localhost/example"
|
|
http-method="GET"
|
|
channel="requests"
|
|
charset="UTF-8"
|
|
extract-payload="false"
|
|
expected-response-type="java.lang.String"
|
|
order="3"
|
|
auto-startup="false"/>

=== WebFlux Header Mappings
|
|
|
|
Since WebFlux components are fully based on the HTTP protocol there is no difference in the HTTP headers mapping.
|
|
See <<http-header-mapping>> for more possible options and components to use for mapping headers.
