The web module doesn't really need to depend on tomcat and all of
the Spring Boot web stack, but users need a way to grab that stuff
quickly if they want it (hence the new starter).
Also removed all spring-boot-starter dependencies from core and
context modules.
With this change there are now 2 choices for web endpoints. The
stream servlet binder is useful for multi-binder use cases
(e.g. HTTP -> message broker).
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.
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)
