We now ship our own APT (included in the core starter) that automatically extracts the user code's Javadoc into a metadata file in generated-spring-modulith/javadoc.json. The documentation generation support picks up that file through SpringModulithDocumentationSource. Asciidoctor has been extended to make more use of the Javadoc where ever it renders a plain type.
Removed the inclusion of the spring-modulith-runtime artifact from the …-starter-core one to avoid issues in native images in a Spring Modulith default setup. As the artifact is still needed to support ApplicationModuleInitializer implementations, we now explicitly check for the presence of those and verify the artifact is actually available and hint the user at explicitly adding it if missing.
We now allow externalizing application events to a variety of message brokers through the addition of Spring Modulith modules for Kafka, AMQP and JMS to a user project's classpath. Which events shall be externalized and how they're supposed to be routed to the message broker can be configured through either annotations or via a configuration API declared as Spring bean.
In case Jackson is on the classpath, we also add auto-configuration to use a Boot-configured ObjectMapper instance with the corresponding message broker client APIs to properly serialize and deserialize messages to JSON.
Introduce a new spring-modulith-events-api artifact to contain types that are supposed to be used by application code to deal with event publications. `EventPublication` was moved into that artifact and got everything non infrastructure related extracted from it's previous incarnation. That in turn has been renamed to `TargetEventPublication`.
`CompletedEventPublications` exposes API to allow purging completed publications either by a given predicate or age (in `Duration`). The interface is implemented by `DefaultEventPublicationRegistry` and thus subject for dependency injection into user code. It primarily delegates to the corresponding methods on `EventPublicationRepository` adapting the given `Duration`s to the `Clock` instance already held internally.
`IncompleteEventPublications` allows triggering the re-submission of incomplete publications by the same criteria as `CEP`. The interface is implemented by `PersistentApplicationEventMulticaster` and this subject for dependency injection into user code.
`EventPublicationRepository` now also allows publications to be deleted by identifiers. The existing implementations have been adapted and batch the requests for every 100 identifiers to prevent a list too large to run into limitations of the underlying data store.
Polished transactional metadata declaration in JPA- and MongoDB-based repository implementations.
Tightened nullability expressions here and there.
