GrpcServer can't be mounted in a Vert.x Web router

[tsegismont]

The documentation and the 4.3 release blog post indicate that a GrpcServer can be mounted in a Vert.x Web router.

In fact, it is not possible because the gRPC server is a Handler<HttpServerRequest> not a Handler<RoutingContext>. So this blog post example is wrong:

GreeterGrpc.GreeterImplBase service = new GreeterGrpc.GreeterImplBase() {
  @Override
  public void sayHello(HelloRequest request, StreamObserver<HelloReply> responseObserver) {
    responseObserver.onNext(HelloReply.newBuilder().setMessage("Hello " + request.getName()).build());
    responseObserver.onCompleted();
  }
};

GrpcServer grpcServer = GrpcServer.server(vertx);
GrpcServiceBridge serverStub = GrpcServiceBridge.bridge(service);
serverStub.bind(grpcServer);

router.consumes("application/grpc").handler(grpcServer); // does not compile

@vietj did I miss anything?

I would like to avoid this dependency of vertx-grpc over vertx-web for various reasons.

Instead we should provide the code return rc -> server.handle(rc.request()) in the documentation, alternatively we could consider having a dependency of vertx-web onto vertx-grpc, but I think that is not necessary.

OK, let's fix the documentation and the blog post
