decorated at runtime by Spring Cloud Function to be an HTTP endpoint,

or a Stream processor, for instance with RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka or

JMS.</p><p>The <code class="literal">@Beans</code> can be <code class="literal">Function</code>, <code class="literal">Consumer</code> or <code class="literal">Supplier</code> (all from

<code class="literal">java.util</code>), and their parametric types can be String or POJO.</p><p>Functions can also be of <code class="literal">Flux<String></code> or <code class="literal">Flux<Pojo></code> and Spring
|
|
Cloud Function takes care of converting the data to and from the
|
|
desired types, as long as it comes in as plain text or (in the case of
|
|
the POJO) JSON. There is also support for <code class="literal">Message<Pojo></code> where the
|
|
message headers are copied from the incoming event, depending on the
|
|
adapter. The web adapter also supports conversion from form-encoded
|
|
data to a <code class="literal">Map</code>, and if you are using the function with Spring Cloud
|
|
Stream then all the conversion and coercion features for message
|
|
payloads will be applicable as well.</p><p>Functions can be grouped together in a single application, or deployed
|
|
one-per-jar. It’s up to the developer to choose. An app with multiple
|
|
functions can be deployed multiple times in different "personalities",
|
|
exposing different functions over different physical transports.</p></div><div class="chapter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a name="_function_catalog_and_flexible_function_signatures" href="#_function_catalog_and_flexible_function_signatures"></a>4. Function Catalog and Flexible Function Signatures</h1></div></div></div><p>One of the main features of Spring Cloud Function is to adapt and support a range of type signatures for user-defined functions,
|
|
while providing a consistent execution model.
|
|
That’s why all user defined functions are transformed into a canonical representation by <code class="literal">FunctionCatalog</code>, using primitives
|
|
defined by the <a class="link" href="https://projectreactor.io/" target="_top">Project Reactor</a> (i.e., <code class="literal">Flux<T></code> and <code class="literal">Mono<T></code>).
|
|
Users can supply a bean of type <code class="literal">Function<String,String></code>, for instance, and the <code class="literal">FunctionCatalog</code> will wrap it into a
|
|
<code class="literal">Function<Flux<String>,Flux<String>></code>.</p><p>Using Reactor based primitives not only helps with the canonical representation of user defined functions, but it also
|
|
facilitates a more robust and flexible(reactive) execution model.</p><p>While users don’t normally have to care about the <code class="literal">FunctionCatalog</code> at all, it is useful to know what
|
|
kind of functions are supported in user code.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="_java_8_function_support" href="#_java_8_function_support"></a>4.1 Java 8 function support</h2></div></div></div><p>Generally speaking users can expect that if they write a function for
|
|
a plain old Java type (or primitive wrapper), then the function
|
|
catalog will wrap it to a <code class="literal">Flux</code> of the same type. If the user writes
|
|
a function using <code class="literal">Message</code> (from spring-messaging) it will receive and
|
|
transmit headers from any adapter that supports key-value metadata
|
|
(e.g. HTTP headers).

which implies blocking, at least potentially. Most likely you will not

need to write <code class="literal">Consumer<Flux<?>></code>, but if you do need to do that,
|
|
remember to subscribe to the input flux. If you declare a <code class="literal">Consumer</code>
|
|
of a non publisher type (which is normal), it will be converted to a
|
|
function that returns a publisher, so that it can be subscribed to in
|
|
a controlled way.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="_kotlin_lambda_support" href="#_kotlin_lambda_support"></a>4.2 Kotlin Lambda support</h2></div></div></div><p>We also provide support for Kotlin lambdas (since v2.0).

<span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-keyword">return</span> { println(it) }
|

}</pre><p>The above represents Kotlin lambdas configured as Spring beans. The signature of each maps to a Java equivalent of
|
|
<code class="literal">Supplier</code>, <code class="literal">Function</code> and <code class="literal">Consumer</code>, and thus supported/recognized signatures by the framework.
|
|
While mechanics of Kotlin-to-Java mapping are outside of the scope of this documentation, it is important to understand that the
|
|
same rules for signature transformation outlined in "Java 8 function support" section are applied here as well.</p><p>To enable Kotlin support all you need is to add <code class="literal">spring-cloud-function-kotlin</code> module to your classpath which contains the appropriate

autoconfiguration and supporting classes.</p></div></div><div class="chapter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a name="_standalone_web_applications" href="#_standalone_web_applications"></a>5.

When the incoming data is single valued, and the target function is declared as obviously single valued (i.e. not returning a collection or <code class="literal">Flux</code>), then the response will also contain a single value.
|
|
For multi-valued responses the client can ask for a server-sent event stream by sending `Accept: text/event-stream".</p><p>If there is only a single function (consumer etc.) in the catalog, the name in the path is optional.
|
|
Composite functions can be addressed using pipes or commas to separate function names (pipes are legal in URL paths, but a bit awkward to type on the command line).</p><p>For cases where there is more then a single function in catalog and you want to map a specific function to the root
|
|
path (e.g., "/"), or you want to compose several functions and then map to the root path you can do so by providing
|
|
<code class="literal">spring.cloud.function.definition</code> property which essentially used by spring-=cloud-function-web module to provide

Deploying a Packaged Function</h1></div></div></div><p>Spring Cloud Function provides a "deployer" library that allows you to launch a jar file (or exploded archive, or set of jar files) with an isolated class loader and expose the functions defined in it. This is quite a powerful tool that would allow you to, for instance, adapt a function to a range of different input-output adapters without changing the target jar file. Serverless platforms often have this kind of feature built in, so you could see it as a building block for a function invoker in such a platform (indeed the <a class="link" href="https://projectriff.io" target="_top">Riff</a> Java function invoker uses this library).</p><p>The standard entry point of the API is the Spring configuration annotation <code class="literal">@EnableFunctionDeployer</code>. If that is used in a Spring Boot application the deployer kicks in and looks for some configuration to tell it where to find the function jar. At a minimum the user has to provide a <code class="literal">function.location</code> which is a URL or resource location for the archive containing the functions. It can optionally use a <code class="literal">maven:</code> prefix to locate the artifact via a dependency lookup (see <code class="literal">FunctionProperties</code> for complete details). A Spring Boot application is bootstrapped from the jar file, using the <code class="literal">MANIFEST.MF</code> to locate a start class, so that a standard Spring Boot fat jar works well, for example. If the target jar can be launched successfully then the result is a function registered in the main application’s <code class="literal">FunctionCatalog</code>. The registered function can be applied by code in the main application, even though it was created in an isolated class loader (by deault).</p></div><div class="chapter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a name="_functional_bean_definitions" href="#_functional_bean_definitions"></a>8.

If there is more than one bean of type <code class="literal">Function</code> you may also need to configure the Spring Boot property <code class="literal">function.name</code> to be the name of the target bean (e.g. use <code class="literal">FUNCTION_NAME</code> as an environment variable).</p><p>The supported AWS services and generic handler types are listed below:</p><div class="informaltable"><table class="informaltable" style="border-collapse: collapse;border-top: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; border-left: 1px solid ; border-right: 1px solid ; "><colgroup><col class="col_1"><col class="col_2"><col class="col_3"><col class="col_4"></colgroup><thead><tr><th style="border-right: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top">Service</th><th style="border-right: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top">AWS Types</th><th style="border-right: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top">Generic Handler</th><th style="border-bottom: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top"> </th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="border-right: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top"><p>API Gateway</p></td><td style="border-right: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top"><p><code class="literal">APIGatewayProxyRequestEvent</code>, <code class="literal">APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent</code></p></td><td style="border-right: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top"><p><code class="literal">org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.aws.SpringBootApiGatewayRequestHandler</code></p></td><td style="border-bottom: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top"> </td></tr><tr><td style="border-right: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top"><p>Kinesis</p></td><td style="border-right: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top"><p>KinesisEvent</p></td><td style="border-right: 1px solid ; " align="left" valign="top"><p>org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.aws.SpringBootKinesisEventHandler</p></td><td style="" align="left" valign="top"> </td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>For example, to deploy behind an API Gateway, use <code class="literal">--handler org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.aws.SpringBootApiGatewayRequestHandler</code> in your AWS command line (in via the UI) and define a <code class="literal">@Bean</code> of type <code class="literal">Function<Message<Foo>,Message<Bar>></code> where <code class="literal">Foo</code> and <code class="literal">Bar</code> are POJO types (the data will be marshalled and unmarshalled by AWS using Jackson).</p></div></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="_azure_functions" href="#_azure_functions"></a>10.2 Azure Functions</h2></div></div></div><p>The <a class="link" href="https://azure.microsoft.com" target="_top">Azure</a> adapter bootstraps a Spring Cloud Function context and channels function calls from the Azure framework into the user functions, using Spring Boot configuration where necessary. Azure Functions has quite a unique, but invasive programming model, involving annotations in user code that are specific to the platform. The easiest way to use it with Spring Cloud is to extend a base class and write a method in it with the <code class="literal">@FunctionName</code> annotation which delegates to a base class method.</p><p>This project provides an adapter layer for a Spring Cloud Function application onto Azure.

You can write an app with a single <code class="literal">@Bean</code> of type <code class="literal">Function</code> and it will be deployable in Azure if you get the JAR file laid out right.</p><p>There is an <code class="literal">AzureSpringBootRequestHandler</code> which you must extend, and provide the input and output types as annotated method parameters (enabling Azure to inspect the class and create JSON bindings). The base class has two useful methods (<code class="literal">handleRequest</code> and <code class="literal">handleOutput</code>) to which you can delegate the actual function call, so mostly the function will only ever have one line.</p><p>Example:</p><pre class="programlisting"><span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-keyword">public</span> <span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-keyword">class</span> FooHandler <span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-keyword">extends</span> AzureSpringBootRequestHandler<Foo, Bar> {

<span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-keyword">return</span> handleRequest(foo, context);

}

}</pre><p>This Azure handler will delegate to a <code class="literal">Function<Foo,Bar></code> bean (or a <code class="literal">Function<Publisher<Foo>,Publisher<Bar>></code>). Some Azure triggers (e.g. <code class="literal">@CosmosDBTrigger</code>) result in a input type of <code class="literal">List</code> and in that case you can bind to <code class="literal">List</code> in the Azure handler, or <code class="literal">String</code> (the raw JSON). The <code class="literal">List</code> input delegates to a <code class="literal">Function</code> with input type <code class="literal">Map<String,Object></code>, or <code class="literal">Publisher</code> or <code class="literal">List</code> of the same type. The output of the <code class="literal">Function</code> can be a <code class="literal">List</code> (one-for-one) or a single value (aggregation), and the output binding in the Azure declaration should match.</p><p>If your app has more than one <code class="literal">@Bean</code> of type <code class="literal">Function</code> etc. then you can choose the one to use by configuring <code class="literal">function.name</code>. Or if you make the <code class="literal">@FunctionName</code> in the Azure handler method match the function name it should work that way (also for function apps with multiple functions). The functions are extracted from the Spring Cloud <code class="literal">FunctionCatalog</code> so the default function names are the same as the bean names.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="_notes_on_jar_layout_2" href="#_notes_on_jar_layout_2"></a>10.2.1 Notes on JAR Layout</h3></div></div></div><p>You don’t need the Spring Cloud Function Web at runtime in Azure, so you can exclude this before you create the JAR you deploy to Azure, but it won’t be used if you include it so it doesn’t hurt to leave it in. A function application on Azure is an archive generated by the Maven plugin. The function lives in the JAR file generated by this project. The sample creates it as an executable jar, using the thin layout, so that Azure can find the handler classes. If you prefer you can just use a regular flat JAR file. The dependencies should <span class="strong"><strong>not</strong></span> be included.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="_build" href="#_build"></a>10.2.2 Build</h3></div></div></div><pre class="screen">./mvnw -U clean package</pre></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="_running_the_sample" href="#_running_the_sample"></a>10.2.3 Running the sample</h3></div></div></div><p>You can run the sample locally, just like the other Spring Cloud Function samples:</p><p></p><p></p><p>and <code class="literal">curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" localhost:8080/function -d '{"value": "hello foobar"}'</code>.</p><p>You will need the <code class="literal">az</code> CLI app (see <a class="link" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-first-java-maven" target="_top">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-first-java-maven</a> for more detail). To deploy the function on Azure runtime:</p><pre class="screen">$ az login

$ mvn azure-functions:deploy</pre><p>On another terminal try this: <code class="literal">curl <a class="link" href="https://<azure-function-url-from-the-log>/api/uppercase" target="_top">https://<azure-function-url-from-the-log>/api/uppercase</a> -d '{"value": "hello foobar!"}'</code>.
