Fully Reactive: Spring, Kotlin, and JavaFX Playing Together [Links]

Code

The code may be slightly different from the demo, as the demo needs to simplify the process of creation and I get to take my time when I’m creating the real app!

• UI (Java FX) and client code
• Server (Kotlin) code

Resources

I Googled a LOT for this demo, and that was even after Josh and I had already presented it at Code One in 2018!

Spring & Spring Boot

• Spring Boot multi-module Maven project example
• Spring Documentation: Annotation-based Container Configuration
• Spring Profiles
• Create a Custom Auto-Configuration with Spring Boot
• Spring Boot 2.2.0.M6 (the release I used to put together the demo)
• Logging in Spring Boot
• Spring Boot 2 With JUnit 5 and Mockito 2 for Unit, Integration Testing

REST & Reactive Web

• Build Reactive APIs with Spring WebFlux
• Flux Sharing in Project Reactor: From One to Many
• Reactive Programming with Reactor 3
• Reactive Spring: Define a REST Endpoint as a Continuous Stream
• Using WebSocket to build an interactive web application
• Reactive WebSockets with Spring 5

RSocket

• Give REST a Rest with RSocket
• Spring Tips: RSocket Messaging in Spring Boot 2.2 (video)
• Reactive streams over the network with RSocket
• Using RSocket with Spring Boot
• Spring Boot Documentation: RSocket
• SO: Rsocket Server exception: No handler for destination “ (destination does not pass from client to server)
• R(eactive)Socket: Bootified
• RSocket Using Spring Boot

JavaFX

• Let Spring Be Your JavaFX Controller Factory
• Spring Tips: JavaFX (video) - Josh Long covers some of our original version of this presentation in his Spring Tips. There’s much more detail here about how to integrate JavaFX into Spring
• Getting Started with JavaFX 13 (I actually use an early access build of 14 in the demo)
• JavaFX Line Chart example

Kotlin

• Kotlin Functions
• SO: Kotlin asterisk operator before the variable name or Spread Operator in Kotlin
