Supported Protocols

Besides auto-detection of protocols (native support), any protocol can be defined using Springwolf custom annotations @AsyncListener and @AsyncPublisher.

Native Support

The following protocols are supported natively:

ProtocolAuto-detected annotationsExample ProjectLatest Plugin Version
AMQP (RabbitMQ)@RabbitListenerspringwolf-amqp-exampleMaven Central
Cloud Functions@Bean (functional interface)springwolf-cloud-streamMaven Central
JMS@JmsListenerspringwolf-jms-exampleMaven Central
Kafka@KafkaListener, @KafkaHandlerspringwolf-kafka-exampleMaven Central
SNSspringwolf-sns-exampleMaven Central
SQS@SqsListenerspringwolf-sqs-exampleMaven Central

Check out the example projects, which include a full docker-compose setup. The examples are simple, easy to start with, good for testing and reproducing bugs.

Please open an issue if you want a protocol to be supported.

Any protocol

Using @AsyncListener and @AsyncPublisher any protocol can be documented, although the binding in the AsyncAPI document will remain empty.

The protocols with native support come along with a @_ProtocolName_Binding annotation to define protocol specific properties.

springwolf-<protocol>-binding bindings

Springwolf also provides some libraries to document bindings. Those libraries provide a light alternative (without 3rd party dependencies)

The supported binding annotations are:
