Using Spring mvc with spring webflux without using spring boot

Time:03-23

So I have a old working application which uses Spring MVC and not spring boot. I have added gradle dependency of spring-webflux in my project and start using webclient for calling external APIs from my project. This is my webclient handler class:

@Service
public class WebclientHandler {
    private final WebClient webClient;

    public WebclientHandler (WebClient.Builder builder) {
        this.webClient = builder.baseUrl("baseurl").build();
    }
}

Now I am getting this error after when I call this code through my API:

Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.WebClient$Builder' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {}

It seems like my application is not able to find Webclient.builder and constructor injection does not occur. Is this because I am not using spring boot?

This is my Gradle dependency:

compile(group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-webflux', version: '5.3.15')

I am new to spring-webflux reactive programming.

EDIT

I have tried to create Webclient bean using configuration also:

 @Configuration
    public class WebClientHandler {
    
    @Bean
        public WebClient myWebClient() {
            WebClient client = WebClient.builder().baseUrl("baseUrl")
                    .defaultHeader(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
                    .defaultHeader(HttpHeaders.ACCEPT, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
                    .build();
            return client;
        }
}

Now I am getting this exception on startup:

CodePudding user response:

Adding these dependencies in my gradle resolved the issue for me for 2nd approach, Now the DefaultWebClientBuilder is able to initiate connector to be used by webclient builder.

implementation platform('io.projectreactor:reactor-bom:2020.0.17')
    implementation 'io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty-core' 
    implementation 'io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty-http'

Although still didn't figured out why the first approach not working even after adding the mentioned gradle dependencies. Still not able to find WebClient.Builder class as bean in constructor.
