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. A
<code class="literal">Function</code> is exposed as a Spring Cloud Stream <code class="literal">Processor</code> if
<code class="literal">spring-cloud-function-stream</code> is on the classpath.
A <code class="literal">Consumer</code> is also exposed as a Stream
<code class="literal">Sink</code> and a <code class="literal">Supplier</code> translates to a Stream <code class="literal">Source</code>.
HTTP endpoints are exposed if the Stream binder is <code class="literal">spring-cloud-stream-binder-servlet</code>.</p><p>Functions can be of <code class="literal">Flux&lt;String&gt;</code> or <code class="literal">Flux&lt;Pojo&gt;</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. TBD: support for <code class="literal">Flux&lt;Message&lt;Pojo&gt;&gt;</code> and maybe plain
<code class="literal">Pojo</code> types (Fluxes implied and implemented by the framework).</p><p>Functions can be grouped together in a single application, or deployed
one-per-jar. It&#8217;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="_dynamic_compilation" href="#_dynamic_compilation"></a>4.&nbsp;Dynamic Compilation</h1></div></div></div><p>There is a sample app that uses the function compiler to create a

support a range of type signatures for user-defined functions. So
users can supply a bean of type <code class="literal">Function&lt;String,String&gt;</code>, for
instance, and the <code class="literal">FunctionCatalog</code> will wrap it into a
<code class="literal">Function&lt;Flux&lt;String&gt;,Flux&lt;String&gt;&gt;</code>. Users don&#8217;t normally have to
care about the <code class="literal">FunctionCatalog</code> at all, but it is useful to know what
kind of functions are supported in user code.</p><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).

remember to subscribe to the input flux. If you declare a <code class="literal">Consumer</code>

a controlled way.</p><p>A function catalog can contain a <code class="literal">Supplier</code> and a <code class="literal">Function</code> (or
<code class="literal">Consumer</code>) with the same name (like a GET and a POST to the same

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". If there is only one function (consumer etc.) then 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>Functions and consumers that are declared with input and output in <code class="literal">Message&lt;?&gt;</code> will see the request headers on the input messages, and the output message headers will be converted to HTTP headers.</p><p>When POSTing text the response format might be different with Spring Boot 2.0 and older versions, depending on the content negotiation (provide content type and accpt headers for the best results).</p></div><div class="chapter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a name="_standalone_streaming_applications" href="#_standalone_streaming_applications"></a>7.&nbsp;Standalone Streaming Applications</h1></div></div></div><p>To send or receive messages from a broker (such as RabbitMQ or Kafka) you can use the <code class="literal">spring-cloud-function-stream</code> adapter.

Routing headers or function names can be composed using a comma- or pipe-separated name. The header is also added to outgoing messages from a supplier. Messages with no route key can be routed exclusively to a function or consumer by specifying <code class="literal">spring.cloud.function.stream.{processor,sink}.name</code>. If a single function cannot be identified to process an incoming message there will be an error, unless you set <code class="literal">spring.cloud.function.stream.shared=true</code>, in which case such messages will be sent to all compatible functions.

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&#8217;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 default).</p></div></div></body></html>
