I’m pleased to announce the third milestone for Spring Integration 5.3.

This release ships several bug fixes, a bunch of new features and improvements and will be picked up by Spring Boot 2.3 M3 in the near future.

It can be downloaded from our milestone repository:

compile "org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-core:5.3.0.M3"

The most important new features are:

• Reactive transactions support. The ReactiveTransactionManager can now be configured for endpoints which produces reactive type for replies or just implement ReactiveMessageHandler.

• ReactiveRequestHandlerAdvice - a MethodInterceptor for message handlers producing a Mono as a payload for reply. The BiFunction<Message<?>, Mono<?>, Publisher<?>> customized is applied for the returned Mono via Mono.transform(Function) operator to add some aspects into a produced result. Typically it is used for timeout, retry, tag options applied for the remote reactive requests, e.g. Webflux or RSocket.

• Kotlin DSL. As we promised before, we have merged spring-integration-kotlin-dsl project into core one for general availability and for further possible improvements which are possible only with direct access to core Spring Integration classes. See org.springframework.integration.dsl.IntegrationFlowDsl.kt for more information.
