So that single Strings can be POSTed without JSON conversion.
There's still some work to do to support single POJOs in JSON, and
to reach parity with the WebFlux reactive type handlers, but it's
now closer to what we had before we moved the String conversion
out of the function layer.
There is one behaviour change (you have to POST an array to a function
endpoint if you are sending a body), and also a message converter that
needed to be removed so that arrays are not toStringed in the response
body.
Polished POM files to remove redundant entries that were causing warnings in the IDE. Some notable changes are:
- Removed spring-boot.version from sample project as they inherit it from the parent
- Removed versioning for maven-jar-plugin (was 3.0) from multiple project so it relies on the managed version
- Removed java.version from all spring-cloud-function-* modules as they inherit the one from parent.
Addressed PR comments
- removed references to maven-jar-plugin
We don't need to cover all the possible uses of Flux (only
Flux<String> really), so this isn't comprehensive coverage of
all the features in Spring WebFlux, but it's good enough for
functions to run with Spring Boot 1.5.
Make it deployable via its maven coordinates in
spring-cloud-function-deployer (it is deployed by default on start
up right now, but that's just a demo)
