Hands-On Spring Security 5 for Reactive Applications

Bootstrap application

Our sample application uses Spring Boot. Spring WebFlux runs on a Reactor Netty server within Spring Boot by default. Our Spring Boot class is very basic and is as follows:

@SpringBootApplicationpublic class Run {  public static void main(String[] args) {      SpringApplication.run(Run.class, args);  }}

You can run the application on any other server, apart from Spring Boot, and it is quite easy to achieve. We have a separate project named spring-boot-tomcat-webflux that runs on Spring Boot, but rather than running on Reactor Netty, it runs on a Tomcat server.

No change is required in any part of the code, apart from pom.xml:

<!--Spring Framework and Spring Boot--><dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> ...
