New in Spring 5: Functional Web Framework: Arjen Poutsma Pivotal

The document discusses new features in Spring 5 including a functional web framework. It introduces concepts like handler functions, router functions, and request predicates. Handler functions handle requests and return responses. Router functions route requests to handler functions and can be filtered. Router functions can run in a reactive web runtime.

I do like annotations...

...but there are downsides

• “Magic”
• No link between data and behavior
• Reflection
• Performance
• Type Erasure
© 2017 Pivotal
Design Goals
• Functional Style
•java.util.function
•java.util.stream
• More library; less framework
• Explicit
• Customizable
• No reflection

Functional Programming
(in Java 8)

Immutability
•No change after construction
• Builders
• Thread-safety
• e.g. String

•toUpperCase()
•StringBuilder
© 2017 Pivotal
First-class Functions
• Functions as first-class citizens
• Functions as arguments
• Functions as return value
• Reusability
•e.g. String
•indexOf(char) vs indexOf(Predicate<Char>)

© 2017 Pivotal
Pure Functions
•Same result given same arguments
• No Limit side effects
• Application boundaries
• Testability
• Cacheability
• Parallelization

HandlerFunction

Function<ServerRequest, Mono<? extends ServerResponse>>

© 2017 Pivotal
ServerRequest
• Similar to RequestEntity
• Immutable
• Headers
• Optional<MediaType> contentType()
• List<String> header(String)
• Body
• Mono<T> bodyToMono(Class<T>)

© 2017 Pivotal
ServerResponse
• Similar to ResponseEntity
• Immutable w/ Builder
• Headers
• lastModified(ZonedDateTime)
• header(String, String...)
• Body
• body(Publisher<T>, Class<T>)

RouterFunctions

RequestPredicate

Predicate<ServerRequest>

© 2017 Pivotal
RequestPredicates

•Common predicates
• path
• headers (Content-Type, Accept)
• Build (compose) your own!

HandlerFilterFunction

BiFunction<Request,
HandlerFunction<? extends ServerResponse>,
Mono<? extends ServerResponse>>

Running Router Functions

• RouterFunction as @Bean in @EnableWebFlux class


•Convert RouterFunction to HttpHandler
• Reactor Netty
• Tomcat
• Servlet 3.1+
• Undertow

Summary

• Handler functions handle request by returning a response


• Router functions route to handler functions
• Router functions can be filtered by filter functions
• Router functions can be run in a reactive web runtime
