This repository contains sample applications that showcase Spring Framework’s support for server-sent events backed by Redis Pub/Sub.
The name of each sample application tells the web stack it’s based on, and optionally the data access paradigm it uses to interact with Redis:
-
sample-mvc-imperative: Spring MVC Sample with Imperative Spring Data Redis -
sample-mvc-reactive: Spring MVC Sample with Reactive Spring Data Redis -
sample-webflux: Spring WebFlux Sample (with Reactive Spring Data Redis)
Java 11 is required to run the samples.
The project is built using Gradle and uses Gradle Wrapper to take care of downloading the appropriate Gradle version.
Each sample is a Spring Boot based application that can be started:
-
using the
bootRuntask of the appropriate sample application -
from IDE by running sample application’s main class
By default, all samples start web server on port 8080 and attempt to connect to Redis running locally at port 6379.
In order to change those defaults, use appropriate Spring Boot configuration properties.
All the samples expose the following two HTTP endpoints:
-
POST /topics/{name:[a-z]{2}}Generates an event and publishes it to the specified Redis channel. For example, the following request will result in event being published to channel named
aa:$ curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8080/topics/aa
-
GET /topics/{name:[a-z]{2}}Subscribes to server-sent events published to the specified Redis channel. The following request will subscribe to events published to channel named
aa:$ curl -N http://localhost:8080/topics/aa
This sample uses Spring MVC and a traditional imperative Redis using Jedis driver.
