The FunctionInspector needs to be able to distinguish between a
function of Flux<Foo> and a function of Flux<Message<Foo>>. Then
it can do the conversion a level below.
Only supports Message->Message or POJO->POJO (no mixtures), so there
is only one new method in FunctionInspector.
No support in the web endpoints yet. But it's probably not so hard
to add.
These can be used to more reliably discover whether the user
has declared a function with flux types or "bare" POJOs. They
then pave the way to supporting single valued types in a special
way.
Also consolidate and simplify the logic in FunctionInspector
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.
Should be easy enoug hto add back later, but it was causing issues
with type conversion where we are npot yet sophisticated enough
to chain functions together and keep track of the types being
passed between them.
User can POST to web endpoint in SSE style, i.e:
HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/event-stream
data:foo
data:bar
Will be converted to a Flux with values foo and bar
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)
