This example shows how you can embed Vert.x in SpringBoot.
So now you can add all the goodness of Vert.x to your SpringBoot applications
It’s basically the same example as the Vert.x-Web "staticsite" example in this repository but instead of using Vert.x to boot it it uses SpringBoot to start it.
The end result is more or less the same as using Vert.x without SpringBoot:
-
There is a similar amount of code and boilerplate (both very little)
-
Both Vert.x and SpringBoot create executable fat jars (The Vert.x jar is considerable smaller than the SpringBoot one though)
-
The SpringBoot version seems a bit slower to startup than the Vert.x version
To build the "fat jar"
mvn package
To run the fat jar:
java -jar target/springboot-example-1.2.4.RELEASE.jar
