Reactive web module [SPR-14161]

[spring-projects-issues]

Rossen Stoyanchev opened SPR-14161 and commented

Create spring-web-reactive module as a reactive alternative to spring-webmvc and building on the reactive support from spring-core and spring-web (#18724, #18725, #18727, #18728).

Core contracts from spring-webmvc such as HandlerMapping, HandlerAdapter, ViewResolver and others will be re-created with fully asynchronous and non-blocking semantics based on Reactive Streams with Project Reactor used for Reactive Streams support.

The initial M1 goals for the module are support for @RequestMapping methods focusing on REST scenarios. Basic HTML template rendering and static resource serving will also be supported but will lack more advanced features such as forms, data binding, etc.
