This experimental project has been merged in Spring Boot 2.0 with the new spring-boot-starter-webflux.
Please refer to the Web Reactive support in Spring Framework 5.0 and the Spring Boot 2.0 reference documentation.
Go to start.spring.io, set the Spring Boot version to 2.0.0(SNAPSHOT) and add the "Reactive Web" starter.
From there you can take a look at the WebFlux sample apps in the spring boot repository.
How should I migrate my existing app to the official starter?
- Remove the
spring-boot-dependencies-web-reactiveBOM import - Replace the
"org.springframework.boot.experimental:spring-boot-starter-web-reactive"dependency with"org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux" - Rebuild your project!
I've found an issue, I have a question - where should I report it?
- You can report issues in the Spring Boot Github tracker or on https://jira.spring.io if this is a Spring Framework issue
- You can ask questions on StackOverflow and/or join the Gitter chat
Is Spring Boot required to run Spring Web Reactive?
It certainly makes things easier, but it's not mandatory. For manual bootstrapping, please [read the reference documentation] (http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/5.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/spring-framework-reference/html/web-reactive.html#web-reactive-getting-started-manual).
